I'm glad to see the new international freephone numbers! Thank you!

It's not really two new numbers (one for the UK and one for Australia) it's actually just the one with different international dialing codes added to the front.

The number is (international dialing code) + 800 722 00010

And presumably it's a Universal International Freephone Number it should be free from anywhere with the addition of the suitable prefix for your country. For example it should be (00) 800 722 00010 all over the EU, not just in the UK.

ITU page on universal international freephone numbers
Wikipedia on toll-free telephone numbers

We should be able to produce the exact number to be dialled in most countries - I guess that's one for the wiki rather than here.

But this is great! Thanks :D

Wow! What a progressive move for the Lindens. To think, just a few months ago, they didn't have international keyboard support. :)

Grats LL. Good Thinking. I tell my MIS students that the day they publish a website, they're working for a multinational company. They may not expect phone calls from Sweden, or orders from the palace in Kuwait, but they'll get them nonetheless and need to be ready to support them somehow.
