In that case, you should be dialling +44 5511 ...... (the leading 0 is dropped when calling from abroad). However, I don't know whether you can call 05511 numbers from abroad.

Posts: 1,454 Gender:	Re: Calling from Spain to UK Reply #3 - May 3^rd, 2008 at 6:45pm No numbers in the UK start 00 (except for when you are calling an international number from a landline), so it will be 05511. Like I said, it should be +44 5511.... have you tried that? If that doesn't work, there isn't a lot we can do about it unfortunately - you will probably have to call the 0845 number.

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. Undecided

Have you tried dialling +445511 etc ?

So you have a number to call the branch directly? Perhaps you would supply it to us.

You can either post it here or send it by private message to me and I will add it. Don't submit it to the database as there is no way of knowing who added the number.
