My Nokia poserphone will actually _dial_ +49 69 6901, and automatically
substitutes the local country convention for getting to an international

However - it works in 91 countries, but not in the USA.  Even though
GSM is now available in parts of the USA, it uses a non-standard
frequency allocation.
