How to call an Italian mobile from a UK mobile while in Italy?

Depending on your phone company, your phone will either work as if it was in Italy, or if it was in the UK. If you enter +39…. in your contact list, an iPhone will automatically dial the right number. You can enter +39… on the keypad, which will have the same effect, the phone will do the right thing. I think 0039… will also work; I tried 0044 with my own phone number and it worked (that was O2, other companies might be different). If you just dial the Italian number, your phone might end up calling the UK, as I said, depending on your phone company.

Summary: Dial +39 if you are using an iPhone.

Yes, if you are roaming from the UK, then you should usually dial a foreign country exactly as you would at home.

Bear in mind that prefixing with +39 is more likely to work on mobile than 00 39.

Note that to add a + on iOS 10 for iPhone you have hold the 0 key for one second.
