It certainly makes sense for mobile phones designed for a "Global" standard. I'm assuming you can still dial the international access code, if you choose. How do you enter or dial the "+" on a basic GSM cell phone (i.e. non-smartphone with a standard keypad)? Is there a standard why to dial the "+"? Is it added to the "*" or "#'? -Gary
