How do I dial 00 800

SandLake

I have been given a number to call by an American airline but I don't know if it is for use in the UK, it is 00 800 55558000, where is this?

It is unobtainable

redux

It has the format of an international freephone number, which should be able to be called from most places, but I think it's a wrong number

This is very similar to a Canadian company number I called earlier this week. It was classed as toll free.

I've just found it - its in Sweden!!!!

I have the impression that some of these numbers are not enabled everywhere (I mean individual ones, not the whole series), as some providers list different access numbers from different countries

Is that what you mean?

UK mobile providers (except Giffgaff) charge for UK freephone calls. Most charge premium rates.

Think yourself lucky that your mobile provider has not programmed its equipment with the international freephone code - if it had, the charges would almost certainly be excessive.

N.B. Giffgaff does not allow 00800 calling either.
