Actually you can add the country code to all your calls and the
operator/network works out whether it's local or international. Makes life
a lot easier when storing and dialling contacts when away from home.

All my UK numbers start with +44 regardless of whether I call from home or

But, assuming he starts the visit on Spain, then goes to Italy. He wants
to call a taxi, after seeing the number somewhere. You have to add the
prefix, which will not be printed in adverts and such. They assume local.

 
True. I guess the OP needs to find what the county code are. I know France
is +33. What's Spain?

 
+34
 
Italy I don't know. Ah, +39

And they will see the foreign number, which might surprise them.
Hopefully they don't geofence.

 
I would suspect not given tourists will be regular users of taxis,
especially in touristy areas.

 
That's true.
 
But the other day there were some comments here about restaurants that
would not accept reservations unless you were near, so difficult to do
from the car while travelling to that city, and used gps spoofing to
fool the system.
 
gps would match, phone number not.

I found restaurants in Greece somtimes wouldn't answer foreign
 numbers so I always made reservations with a local SIM. Mainly
 because the older staff (the owner's mother, or grandmother even)
 were not confident in English.  A few words of greek were
 required. Taxis, no such problem IME - so long as you can
 describe where you are.
