This is only part true. The international prefix 009 in Sweden IS going to
change into 00, HOWEVER, 009 is a prefix used by the landline telephone
operator Telia, not by any other land operator nor by the GSM network.
(I doubt dialling 009<countrycode><number> will work even if you are a Telia
Mobitel GSM customer, you'd have to use '+'..)
