Natwest - Introducing local rate numbers

Some organisations are smart enough to recognise that you are calling their international number from the, UK but prefixing the number with 141 (caller umber withheld) gets you through very often

Yes you can, just drop the +44 and replace with a 0 :-

Did you actually try it? They won't take calls from UK landlines on those numbers.

The 141 trick doesn't work either on these numbers.

But you can call them from your mobile, as I mentioned earlier.

I don't know about the Coop, but my 123 debit card has +44 1908 237 963 on the back. Credit card says +44 1512 648 725. And if you have lost the cards, there are "call from abroad" numbers on the web: http://www.santander.co.uk/csgs/Satellite?appID=abbey.internet.Abbeycom&c=Page&canal=CABBEYCOM&cid=1210607216474&empr=Abbeycom&leng=en_GB&pagename=Abbeycom%2FPage%2FWC_ACOM_TemplateA2

You can't ring those numbers from a UK landline but they work perfectly from a mobile.

Just looked at my Co-op credit card and while it lists an overseas number it's actually the same 0844 number as for UK use. I'm fairly sure it used to be a geographic number as I had a problem with the card when I was in Thailand a few years ago and had to call them.
