Hi,
Could someone please assist me in dialing a UK number? It's for a boxing merchandise store.
This is the number given on the website: 08714 266800
I've done searches, but can't seem to get the proper numerical combination to get the call through.
Thank you. |

The dial code is 44. Omit the first digit and insert the code.
448714 266800 |

Thanks for the response, but I still couldn't get through. I put a "1" in front of the number you typed, and I also tried dialing the number exactly as you have it (with no "1").
At the risk of sounding really dumb... can someone tell me the EXACT number I would dial from Korea, in order to get through?
The phone # is here: http://www.boxfituk.com/contact-us/info_2.html
Thanks again. Believe me, I wouldn't be subjecting myself to this public embarrassment if it weren't important. |

That isn't a normal area code for the UK - it all starts as 01 something (for example, Nottingham is 0115, Derby is 01332, London was 0171 or 0181- now 020).
0800s numbers are either free number or premium numbers... in which case you cannot dial from overseas.
Sorry. Send them an email.
ETA: I just found the answer for you - here you are: http://www.ttnc.co.uk/numbers/0871.do?gclid=COSC1fbi7JgCFRwpawodQQe50g |

You can try using skype. If using a landline you may need to use an overseas code, such a 002. 001, depends on your phone company.
so, from a landline; 002 448714 266800
Can't believe you don't know this, haven't you phoned your mum yet?!
Remember the UK is 8hrs behind us, so lines may be closed at certain times. |
