Quote:I asked her to try the 1899 to try to get the georaphical number but its a lecturers internal number so she cant ring it. I told her to try the NTL alternative to 1899 (0808 1 708 708 ) number and that wont go through either because shes not registered for outside calls. She was actually trying to avoid doing that unless its really necessary as they want all her card details to register and shes not too keen on putting them in. It's really just so people can ring her cheaper
To do any of these she will need to be registered to make an outside calls!
If she picks her phone up and dials 1899, then she will get extension 1899 (should it exist).
If she picks her phone up and dials 08081708708 she will probably get the university operator,
if 0 is the operator/switchboard.
In both cases, she must use some sort of prefix to get an outside line. You mention she will need to enter a few numbers before she can make an outside call. So if (for example) those numbers she must enter are 1234, then enter 12341899 or 123408081708708 and so on.
