703-286-6277 What About Uk

I keep seeing this number

when i try dailing it from a UK phone i get this number is not recognised

i am not used to international dialing so looked up the prefix for the US

+1 so is that

1 703-286-6277 (no idea how you make a +)

anyways i tried that - and guess what - number not recognised

this is a pain and isnt it about time basic account members had some means of contactiing LL as well other than this stressful experience as many Basic accounts generate thousands of dollars that LL benefit from

what number do you dial to get to LL support if you live in the UK

thanks in advance

+ = 00

Use Skype.

00 1 703-286-6277

Its 00. Have you ever spotted on your mobile phone Surfwidow, or anywhere else, that unknown numbers (specially mobiles) will sometimes come up as +44 and then the number. Basically the plus is 00, then you have the UK code - 44, then it is the actual number.
so this would be

00 1 703-286-6277

Yep they've all said it - definitely use Skype though.

703 = Virginia?

yup, Fairfax County, Virgina is a haven of call centers
(that's a guess, because reverse look up maps it to Washinton, VA, which is outside the 703 zone, in 540, so it's likely the telcom that controls the number is based in Washington)

Hmmm handy ... now I need one which specifically needs to employ someone English to get sponsored into the country ... LOL ...

Surfy,

First off use 00 1 then the number.

Secondly use www.just-dial.com and connect via one of their 0845 numbers, as it makes it a lot cheaper.

Immed to you in word as well

The haven of call centres in the UK is Delhi.....

This is not correct Ee.

It's Mumbai ... or Bangalore ...

Toxic, is that true? Callers internationally for 800 numbers here don't get a discount .... hmmm interesting!

Stop being pedantic!

I checked...and you REALLY don't want to call that number: Northern Virginia: Arlington, CIA to be exact...

thanks for your help guys - n everyone

i really do appreciate it

i did contact them and they were very quick to answer and deal with my concerns

cant fault LL - they dont put you on HOLD

still probably cost 5 bucks though

51p a minute from a BT landline in the UK iit says

oh well

time to get a UK number LL maybe

as the guy who answerd was British he must exist

Yup, what about an 08705 (national rate) number or an 08457 (local rate).

Better yet an 0800 (free) with an 00800 (Euro Free) number.

It annoys me as a British person to pay for an international call to speak to someone in Brighton.

and there is even a website where you can get the landline number for a NGN (non-geo) number.
If you go to www.saynoto0870.com you can search for the company you are trying to ring. sometimes - especially with the larger companies, people will have given 01 or 02 numbers to replace the 08 or 09 numbers. Cost of a local or national call instead of the stupid rates they charge.

I tried using one of those low tariff suppliers listed but it doesnt work

tried 3 times

i agree i mean i dont mind paying the national rate as i dont expect LL to do it for free but why cant i call the guy in Brighton UK direct from the UK

It seems abusrd to go via the USA

Ouch!

However, you *can* get cheap calls from UK landlines without having to pay a monthly fee or sign a contract tying you in.

I use a company called 18185 dot com (and there's also 18866 dot co dot uk). The way it works is you go to their website and sign up (it's free), and fill out a Direct Debit or Credit Card mandate. Then whenever you want to make a call from your BT line, you simply dial 18185 before the number. You get charged 5p (I think) connection charge for the call, and UK landlines are 0p/min, US is 1p/min. Other countries vary, but they're usually cheaper than BT.

Mobiles aren't, nor are 0800 or 0845 or 0870 numbers - so you just dial those directly without dialling the 18185 first.

I thought there must be a catch at first, but there isn't. I've been using them for over a year now, and it works a treat. You just get an online bill (never any paperwork) showing how much you spent this month, and for me it's usually about four pounds in total! You don't have to sign a contract, or inform BT.

Weird, so the international US number is rerouting calls through to Brighton. To do this the number reroutes to a British telephone number...now we just have to find out that telephone number and we can dial direct!

Anyone here work for BT?

Sorry about reviving a dead topic. Trying to call from Australia with the number. Can anyone help me out here?

From Australia, you need to dial 0011 1 703 286 6277

http://www.countrycallingcodes.com/ - Country Calling Codes for the world, for anyone else who doesn't know how to 'get out' of their country

oh, and if you only have the in-country number, don't forget to drop the 0 after you've dialled the international code - for example, number in uk 021234567 dialled from australia becomes 0011 21234567 (gee, i hope that's not actually anyone's number!)

if they did...i doubt they would admit it British hobby slagging them off- its great sport lol

i really wouldn'y bother calling them, if u think there support ticket system is bad, then u got a nasty suprise when u call them

bunch of useless wankers on the fone, most can't even speak english so ur on the fone for hours trying to get ur message accross (this is costing you £1.25 a min)

Ah, quelle surprise.

You utter mug. You've been given endless advice how to call that number without spending £1.25 a minute (which ISN'T the cost anyway), yet you persist with your nonsense.

You get a nasty "suprise" when you call that "bunch of useless wankers" when you still, after all this time, won't accept that your internet connection is inappropriate and unsecured (and stolen)and that most, and given your track record, probably all of the problems you encounter are of your own making. And if I was a customer services agent on the receiving end of your (freely admitted) abusive language and inability to process information, I'd string you along on the phone for a damn good while, just to annoy you.

Grow up, for the love of Christ. Start accepting some responsibility.
