A couple of questions:
a. Do you have international dialling facilities set up with your service provider? In the UK this service is not automatically enabled and often has to be requested.
b. Are you sure that the UK number you are dialling is correct?My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).
For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com0 -
Number very familiar and used every day.Rang Orange before I left and they checked my phone. They told me just to put in the code.0

try just 44, instead of 0044.......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple

Try
+44 UK number no leading zero
'+' plus the number is the normal way to dial a country code.0 -
011 44 UK number no leading zero0

00 is the UK international access code. So if
'+' is actually the standard way to represent the international access code where ever you are. For example +976 is the international dialling code for Mongolia, but the '+' is the International access code where you are. So from the UK, the International access code is 00 and you dial 00976 for Mongolia. But in Mexico, the International Access code is 98 so you dial 98976 to make a call from Mexico to Mongolia. The '+' is a bit like the 7th symbol in Stargate.Inner_Zone wrote: »Try

http://www.milesfaster.co.uk/access-codes.htm give a list of International access codes which the + represents.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0
