How do you dial 086 when its in England?

Hobbes

I need to call an O2 (086) in London, however I have tried..

004486 ....

but that doesn't work. Anyone know how?

Creamy Goodness

00-353-86-xxxxxxx

i think

subway

someone roaming?

you need to do +35386......
press * twice to get the plus

Ruu_Old

0035386? I dont know.

Lump

0035386

if you use the + it automatically replaces the code needed to dial out of a country, IE in england and Ireland it's 00, but in other countries, it might be different.

Since it's actually on an Irish network but in England, you still need to use the code out of Ireland (00) and the international code into Ireland (353) it's wierd, but should work.

Surely you could just call the 086 number like normal (086 1234567)? It's an Irish number so the network should recognise it and then route the call to the English network that the phone is roaming on?

It should work alright, I called my folks mobile, 087... from my American mobile and didnt have to put anything in front.

exactly, it doesnt matter where the receiver of the call is, it matters were the dialler is making the call from

if you are in ireland you dial 086
if you are in the UK you dial 0035386
if you are in the states you dial 01135386

and so on

Huh? I'd have assumed that it was local (086) or global (0035386) only.

America has a different number to call Ireland..

Ruu_Old

Afaik its 001353 or 011353 (cant remember which way around it is)

Dialling internationally from the US requires a "011" prefix. Alternatively using a plus sybol (on a mobile) will work anywhere in the world as it uses whatever the local international prefix is.

If you wannt ring 086 1234567 from Ireland just ring 086 1234567. Nothing else needed.

Clearly the method suggested by Ruu, Cremo and Me worked, so Shhhhhhhh

Slightly off-topic but hey-ho...

If the person you are dialing is using a pay-as-you-go mobile and does not have any credit the call will go direct to voicemail without ringing the phone. If you really need to contact them you can top up their phone at an ATM in Ireland and they then get the credit

Hobbes

Intresting to know and explains why I Couldn't ring them today.
