So dialing with your Dutch "mobieltje" to a Spanish phonenumber use the countrycode of Spain 0034, followed by the phonenumber. Take care if you do, keep away the 0 (zero) of a regio's code. *Years ago my pilgrim friend and I checked our cell phones at home and got a perfect connection there. In Spain it didn't work. Everey time I tried to phone him I got a Spaniard on the line who got angrier and angrier. I didn't understand what was wrong. We had to communicate via his wife in Holland. Later I learned that I should have adjusted something at home before crossing the border but I still don't know what that is. Anyone? Thank you!
So if you convert your Den Haag code ( 070 ) it becomes 003170 and the local number f.ex. 1234567. Better converting the number is starting with a + (plus). Than the countrycode said:Thank you very much, Albertinho! Christal clear! Just replace the first 0 [zero] of the local Dutch 10-digit number by +31. Easy! This gives me the courage to ask another non-whizz-kid question...
...So if you convert your Den Haag code ( 070 ) it becomes 003170 and the local number f.ex. 1234567. Better converting the number is starting with a + (plus). Than the countrycode, than the region code and local number. So +31 70 1234567. In some countries the 00 does not exist so better to program your "mobieltje "with + 31 for NL and +34 for Spain etc. If you travel abroad a lot of course
Thank you, Bajaracer! But, does this mean that my original question: "Prepare at home what you can't adjust across borders" is not relevant? Is there no problem [anymore]? Can anything in any phone be adjusted across any border?I enter all my numbers with a +1(area code) and number (for USA) in my iPhone, that way, I can be anywhere around the world and call direct.

I read terrible stories about youngsters getting huge bills after forgetting to undo the roaming function.Yes, provided your phone contract allows for international roaming and you are willing to pay the costs of it. SY
Thank you, SY! I guess this ends the discussion leaving me a lot wiser and a little sadder. GeertYes, depending how much you use your phone and for what it might be better to buy a local SIM card for it. Search this forum here, plenty of threads about SIM cards already there. SY

Thank you, SY, I'll come back later. Bye for now. Best, GeertWhy? You just need an unlocked phone and a cheap local SIM card ...

Not to fret over it. SY is right.. Unlock cell and get a SIM.....There will be much harder things to deal with then your phone....Like Snorers and those dang dreaded Buggies....Thank you, SY! I guess this ends the discussion leaving me a lot wiser and a little sadder. Geert
