 CS> Huh?  They dont use an international dialing code in Z3 to reach
 CS> 000 (emergency like 112 or 911 in other places).

correct, but they do have to if the 000 is the _country code_ in a
listing... remember how phone numbers are laid out...

  countrycode-areacode-citycode-restofnumber
       1     -  800   -   555  -  0100
      000    -  192   -   168  -    2   -   1

and again, this all goes back to "properly configured mailer" and
that includes a properly set up "dialing translation table"...
that's where you tell the mailer what areacodes are local calls...
everything else is not local and would get the national or the
international dialing code prefixed to it... and that, right there, is the
point at which it stops being a problem...
