Hi all,
Does anyone know if I can ring an 0800 prefix number in the UK from Sweden? I need to talk with an insurance company over there but cannot find a local number anywhere on the web! They are also not answering my emails sad.gif

Try taking the "0" off the front of the number and ringing it anyway.
Quite often international calls to such numbers inform the payee that additional costs will follow.

Try looking here for the number, or alternatively call via this access number.

You can call any 0800 for free with Skype. Why bother paying to ring a local number when you can do it for free?

Say no to 0870 is fantastic for all premium and "lo-call" numbers though.
