I think that works in whole Europe.
At least for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and France I
know it. Outside europe: no idea.
Normaly in Europe it works like this:
No leading 0 = City call (only fixed net)
One leading 0 = National call
Two leading 0 (or +) = International call
Side effect: a normal german mobile number would be 0049 171 1234567.
If you dial 49 171 1234567 from a pstn (fixed line) phone, you reach
someone in your neighbourhood with the number 0049 [your city prefix]
491711 (additional dialed numbers are ignored in german pstn)
