Yeah exactly you would think so but it simply doesn't except the non-US code whatever country you choose. It used to be like this all the time but things got better. The state was also a problem. You can't imagine how many times I had to say I lived in Alabama. Unfortunately that doesn't work when you are giving a billing address for a credit card.....woops I feel that rant coming on.
Anyway, thanks for the tip on the 00000 number. I will give it a try.
