yes you can, I do it a lot
Just to correct the above post, the international access code from the UK is 00, this varies from country to country, the international dialing code for the USA is 1 (ours is 44) and so dialing 001 555 111 2222 would get you a US number.
because mobile phones can be in different countries you should actually use a plus instead of 00 (the bit that varies from country to country you reside in)
the Americans dont use 0 in front of numbers, even on mobiles so nothing to drop from it
ie a number should be :
+1 555 111 2222
