00800 number dialling

[MikeS1]

When I call a 00800 number on my iPhone it won’t connect and says call ended

@MikeS1 You're entering too many numbers. Only one zero before the 8. 0800

[MikeS1]

No I’m not entering too many numbers. 00800 is an international freephone number.

@MikeS1 You didn't say you were trying to call an international freephone number. Try using a + instead of 00, or a + and the country code before 800.

@MikeS1 If memory serves me correctly these numbers are only free from landlines. Most mobile networks charge as an international call.I

Problem sorted. O2 have added a free bolt on to my account. I can now dial and connect to the 00800 number
