hey guys,

dumb question but.... i need to call malaysian airlines to pick up my freight from within switzerland. the number i've been given is 41 1 8164 596.

putting this directly into the phone achieves continouse fast pulsed beeps.

combinations of this (including a zero at the front) achieve nothing

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nic

044 816 4596

That's a Zurich number. You could also tell them the 01 code no longer works.

thanks lob

I don't remember having to out that 1 anywhere in numbers last time i was here.

now i'm being told the number i called is not available. mmmm... i think i preferred the fast pulsed beeps.

will send an email to the aussie freight co. and they can sort it.

cheers

The number I have for malaysia airlines freight is (from outside of CH) 00 41 43 816 45 96

Try the link for the airport at ZRH. There is the switchboard number etc and I'm sure they will be able to help re: the malaysian cargo.

Zurich's area codes are 01 and 044 until (appropriately) April 1 2007, when only 044 will work. For international call and recommended for entering calls in mobile phones the code is without the zero and with the country code:

+41440000000
or
0041440000000

Having this in your mobile stops the embarrassment of dialing a local subscriber when abroad in error.

I still don't see how adding a digit at the front adds extra numbers, at the back, yes. But adding the same digits at the from to all phone numbers is surely the same...

Zurich is 043 and 044 so Termite could well be "correcter" than me

thanks heaps; that worked. ( i meant termites reply - so many other have popped up while i was typing away - thanks to everyone else though )

and i found out the number i was given was wrong. should have been 43 816 4597. Go figure.

so i get my stuff tomorrow. Yay!
