This is the number my bank manager gave so I do not have to go through 0845 ......... and actually call direct so yes the numbers start with 0055..............
The number is probably 05511 etc. If I dial a number starting 0055 from the UK my call will be routed to Brazil as 55 is its international dialling code.
Abbey is one such bank which uses 05 numbers. Perhaps your foreign telco will not allow calls to these numbers.
Have you tried dialling +445511 etc ?
