We are in Northern Illinois. This really happened to us: Not too many years ago, we decided to call out for pizza. My wife looked up a place to order, and punched in the numbers.

As she told the story, the phone rang-it had a strange sounding ring. Someone answered and my wife said she would like to order a pizza. The person on the other end said, “We’re not open yet, can you call back later?”

She replied “Why aren’t you open.” It was 6PM, or somewhere close. He asked her “Lady, where are you calling from?” She told him-I should add that he had a strange accent- and he told her, lady, this is Opal’s Pizza, in Moe, Australia.”

It turns out the two pizza places had similar names, but were a few miles apart.

I told her, “Next time you order, do it BEFORE you have a glass of wine”.

I’m old school. So you don’t have to dial 011 plus some other numbers to dial internationally?

Seems to me that having to dial 011 plus a country code plus the telephone number would be in indication that something isn’t right.
