International Calling Questions/Contacts on SIM?

I will be taking my Verizon TP2 to Costa Rica next month, and Greece a few months later. First time with an International capable phone. I just purchased and installed a Celtrek (Global Roaming www.celtrek.com) SIM. I temporarily switched to GSM, entered the PIN, called it using the U.S. number they assigned to me, and it seems to be working just fine.

In order to make calls to the U.S. when I'm out of town, I basically need to add "001" to the regular 10-digit phone numbers in my contact list. What I'm wondering is there some way I can have it automatically add the "001" when placing calls, so that all I have to do is hit the Contact I want to call and initiate a call the same as I do here.

I've looked through the phone Settings, and haven't found any place to enter this information yet. I see some options in the "Enable Assisted Dialing" where United States (310) is selected, but don't see exactly how I'd configure this to add the "001" to all my calls.

Also, I see there is a built-in capability to add my Contact List to the SIM card. Is there any practical reason to do this? I use SPB Backup, with nightly scheduled backups, so don't need another back using the SIM card. But are there other advantages to having them, or calling them from, the SIM?

Thanks.
