Note, that US appears to have some sort of pan European 800 number on the back of its card. Never knew that there was such a thing.

Yeah, they created a country code of +800 a few years ago and some larger chains, Sheraton, etc. jumped on board. In the case of some phone numbers, they also work from the U.S.: 011-800-XXXX-XXXX and are toll free. But it seems to have caught on more in Europe.
