      Nope, you need to do +44 then the number without the leading zero….

      So my mobile is 07740706464

      You would text:

      +44 7740706464
      or 0044 7740706464

      So why do you brits have that leading 0 then?  Otherwise it makes sense.  Also, whats the logic on these country codes….never thought about it before.

            Thomas,

            I don't see how it's any different here in the States, you dial 1+ area code to dial anything that isn't local. Now add a country code, which they would need as well calling us, ours happens to be a extra 1. Do you see how the numbers then fall into place?

                I never have to use a country code within the US.  But, I have a feeling that is already built in, which is logical.  I don't get the extra zeros that Giles mentioned

                If you look online, not all countries use that prefix.  Also, why is Uzbekistan 998, UK 44 and US, 1?

                The question isn't important at all, but I couldn't extract the reasoning from wikipedia, so just wondering what the logic is.

                  Virtually every country has a leading zero in their phone number.

                    The 00 or + is to indicate to the country that you are dialling from that you want to dial outside the country.

                            I'm not sure there's a limit.  I think Giles mentioned once that he has over five thousand.

                              Computer savy folk,  my roommates and I seem to have lost the ability to access flickr.com from within my home network.  Anyone have any idea what may be causing this?  I've been puzzling through it and tried a few things, but to no avail…

                                ^let's do cray cray internet trouble shoot'n

                                If you're a mac, open "terminal" (click magnifying glass). If PC, Start>Run>Cmd(then enter), If PC Win 8, hit Start type Cmd (then enter)

                                Mac (1 per line);
                                dig flickr.com
                                dig flickr.com @8.8.8.8
                                ping flickr.com

                                PC (1 per line);
                                nslookup flickr.com
                                nslookup
                                server=8.8.8.8
                                flickr.com
                                quit
                                ping flickr.com

                                That should help resolve it. Flickr has shitty quality issues with it's ad server, my money is that..

                                    Thanks EMQ. So far looking like shitty Flickr ad server, connectivity looking good. Mind you, your DNS server didn't/doesn't have the entries cached. I suggest manually setting your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 for faster browsing in general…

                                    For Flickr, using Chrome, Open a blank tab, then go View > Developer > Developer Tools. Click the "Network" box/tab thingy down the bottom. At that point type in flickr.com, hit enter. You'll get a timeline loading, look for the longest part of the timeline, maybe take a screenshot of it. That will show exactly where it's spending it's time..

                                        Well this morning it was hanging up on the very first GET and not resolving anything, but for whatever reason when I got back from class and tried one more time before grabbing a screen shot flickr decided to load just fine.  Thanks for your help though Snowy!

                                          Hiya MC, if it happens again, follow the same advise and we'll get it sorted. Feel free to PM me, or keep it going here, both work fine for me :). Updating your DNS to 8.8.8.8 should make 'everything' faster for you.

                                          Then Advanced>DNS>Hit Plus bottom left, type in 8.8.8.8
