This was me until last year. I have had my passport for a little over a year now. I bought my new GSM phone because I discovered, last October, the hard way, that the other one did not work overseas.

I did know that 011 was the US code, although I didn't know until now that using the international method (+) simplifies the general process of dialing numbers, no matter where I am in the world. Thanks for sharing this information.

Now, if only I could figure out how to set up and book these darn Mileage Runs on AA from DFW (and YES, before you playa-hate me, LOL, I've read all of the Primers, etc., over and over and over, I am trying, but with no luck, maybe someone can message me with some spiritual enlightenment concerning this)....
