# I need some help people
I need to give my phone number to someone in america, but i don't know jack about international dialing codes and stuff.
So if my area code is 01633 , what do i need to prefix it with, and if so change, for someone in the USA to call me in the UK ?
Many thanks for any help i get.

# This is the correct answer.
(I spent six months in the States. I know the codes off by heart...)

# I agree with Tedious
and I spent 2 1/2 years there. So I not only know the codes by heart but...

Er. That's it.

# they dial whatever the US international access code is (00?)
followed by 44 1633

# the international thing
will depend on how you're calling.

I don't have long distance, I just use a card, so that's probably why.

I think it's option 2 ;)
