TELECOM 247

Hi

Can anyone please confirm if it is possible to dial a 0845 number from
a landline phone outside of the UK ? I did a quick search for this but
found mixed answers. 0044 845 xxxxxx i assume if so ?

Also if the 0845 number was dialed from a UK mobile with roaming
enabled when in another country i am sure it would work just like any
other number does ?

Thanks

to find its geo root (if it has one?)

Yes it does work. Better to quote +44 845 xxxxxxx as the IDD prefix isnt
always 00 (011 in North America)

Should need the +44 format still (some mobile operators seem to do some
assumptions and it might work anyway!)

Amex use an 0845 number for their Travel Insurance customer service, so it
must work.

Very variable, from some countries 0845 works but in some countries it
doesnt. Ive also been in some countries were some carriers can connect but
others cant.

My latest was Thailand where TOT could not connect to a 0845 number saying
not available from this country but a TTT line in the same town could.

Sometimes it will, sometimes it wont. Dont rely on it - it depends
on the specific telco you use having got the right routing in place.
Apparently.

Thats why most organisations who use non geographic numbers, but who
need to be contactable from abroad (eg banks, credit cards) quote a
geographic international number.

I take it you mean a non-non-geo ;-)
