Try prefixing his number (which should have 10 digits) with 001.No reliance should be placed on the above.0

Have you tried 001 140 and the remaining 8 digits - dropping the 0 from the 0140?No reliance should be placed on the above.0

I've replied with cheap calls ideas on your other thread
As for the number, perhaps it is 00140xxxxxxxx0 -
You might also want to check your call barring settings. Sometimes companies leave it set to no international, no premium rate calls by default. This helps to stop you accidentally making stupidly expensive calls, but if you don't know it is enabled it stops you making certain calls for no apparent reason.
You should be able to change/check this setting from your mobile (for international calls).*I reserve the right to have an opinion, the right to change this opinion and the right to be wrong.*Hope that helps.
