1890 numbers

[awec]

How do I call these things from a Northern phone? I've tried putting 00353 infront but its not taking me to the right number cause I should get an automated system straight away but it rings infinitely with no answer.

I've tried 00353 without the 1, and I get an unrecognised number thing and if I don't put the 00353 I get a number not in use 3 beeps thing.

How?!

Ringing from a northern mobile? Try +353 rather than 00353. Someone had my number saved as 00353 and they couldn't ring or text me.

I don't think you can ring them directly because of the type of number they are. There should be an equivalent number that can be dialled as the 1890 number is just hanging off it.

yep, they can't be called. Whatever company it is may provide a standard line to call them instead

If you google the number, you might find a Northern equivalent somewhere maybe.

+353 and 00353 should be the same thing. More likely to be a wonky phone or "operator error".

It's a Northern phone.

Got it sorted anyway.
