Chrissie Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 One of our friends has given us a BT Internet phone number, but when we try it from here it is "non-attribué"......is there a special way to dail into these? (We have tried our usual One-Tel defualt and also via FT)Chrissie (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob T Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I think that is a freephone number in the UK, which could be quite expensive to phone from France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 UK 0560 numbers are non-geographic numbers charged at the old "local rate" (ie same as 0845 - in other words what a local call USED TO COST) and which are used for VOIP services. We have one that we have used in the UK and France. People in the UK have no problem contacting it, wherever the phone actually is. People in Germany and Switzerland have no problem contacting it. People in Ireland used to have problems but I think it now works. People in France can sometimes call it and sometimes they can't - seems to depend on the network, or how tight the string is, or how loudly they shout into the tin can or some such factor.RegardsPickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissie Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 You're absolutely right, Pickles - I kept trying the number and after about twelve results of "non-pas attribué" I suddenly got through (via FT)! Perhaps it is a function of the wetness of the string (pouring here today).Chrissie (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
