I always hate when people put international numbers on web sites and then 
tell you how to dial them from inside their own country.

The number should be "+49 ....".  But I see all kinds of "call 01049..." 
kinds of crap that doesn't even apply on half the phones in one country.

Try dialing "+49..." on your cell phone and see what you get.

Like in the USA, half the people advertise their number as a "1-800 number". 
A number in the 800 area code is toll-free. The only reason there's a 1 on 
front is that switches commonly in use when 800 numbers were first coming 
around needed you to dial a 1 to tell it there's an area code coming up. And 
even tho "1" is the USA country code (it's good to be the king), you can't 
dial +1-800-... from outside the USA and get to where you want to go. So 
advertising it as a 1-800 number is *wrong*. :-)
