00 is the code used from the UK when dialling an international number.
If you mean, "What are these 00 800 xxx xxxx numbers?", they're international freephone numbers (officially known as [size=-1]Universal International Freephone Numbers)[/size].
One example of their extensive use is IBM (click).Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -
