Best Answer

Your question is a bit muddled.

To be able to receive calls on your UK mobile phone when you are outside the UK, you need to contact your carrier (mobile provider) to be sure that you have international roaming activated. Then, anyone in the world will be able to ring your mobile by dialing the regular UK number, no matter where you are (so long as roaming is available in that country).

To dial your mobile from outside the UK, a caller will replace the trunk prefix 0 at the beginning of the mobile number with the country code +44 for the UK. For example, 07700 900123 becomes +44 7700 900123. Calling from a GSM mobile phone, the caller should dial it exactly that way, including the plus sign. Calling from a landline or a non-GSM mobile, replace the plus sign with the appropriate international access prefix (most commonly 00, but many countries use other prefixes).

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)
