    I'm in Belfast, and I need to phone the Irish number 1850 222020, but I don't know how to phone it internationally.

    I've tried 003531850 and 00353850, but neither of them work. Any ideas?

    What's the name of the company? Ideally you need the switch number (say a Dublin number) and then dial 003531-number.

    As far as I know you cannot dial 1850 numbers from abroad, probably because when you dial 00, 353, 1, it starts resolving to an 01 area number starting 850 - i.e. you are trying to dial some dublin number 01-8502220.

    Alternatively, I can call the number for you and ask what their international number is?

    Yeah - that'd be great. I just tried googling it there, but got no luck.
    It's o2's repair line, if that's any help.

    I tried that number twice. All I get is a message to leave a message, as all agents are busy.

    Perhaps try micr0's suggestion - any time I have called them from overseas they were able to assist me with any problem.

    Just tried the 1850 number again. It is now just ringing out.
