If I'm in the usa and I want to call Directory Enquiries in the uk (using
my o2 mobile,which is set up for roaming etc) do I just dial 118500 (o2's
Directory Enquiries used as example) ? or do I need to add +44 ?
Cheers, Willi

I would be surprised if you can dial UK DQ services from abroad.

Neither works. I just tried it with an 02 SIM roaming on ATT Wireless. ATT
implements some of 02s short cuts for 02 roamers, but that one. (The two
networks are very interconnected), but not that one. Sorry.

I think it's a customer service options?

Failing that, look it up on the BT website perhaps?

Surely this is entered as +449013000192?

However it doesn't work while roaming in Spain. Where does it work
from?

I can't believe that - no UK premium rate number is accessable from overseas.
Have you actually tried this?
