US Dialling Prefix
I'm trying to ring Yahoo on this # (866) 924-6676 but my phone provider gives an automated message that the # isn't recognised, I assume because I need an extra prefix. After googling and being even more bamboozled, and ringing my phone provider who I kid you not gives this automated message (in the slowest speech speed possible):
Thankyou for ringing BT, please enter the number you are calling ABOUT (I automatically swear in frustration) *enter number* Sorry, this is not recognised, please hold. Please select one of the following options 1. For billing enquiries press 1 2. If you are moving home press 2 3. For internet enquiries, including BT Broadband press 3 4. For other enquiries press 4 *presses 4* Please select one of the following options (More swearing, wife tells me to shut up) 1. For business enquiries press 1 2. To report nuisance calls press 2 3. To report a line fault press 3 4. For all other enquiries press 4 *presses 4* Please select one of the following options (More swearing, more extreme words, more wife telling me to shut up) 1. For internet enquiries press 1 2. For all other enquiries press 4 *presses 4* sound of connection, followed by 3 double rings, followed by message: Our operatives are on call from 8 am to 8 pm ( F word, C word, couple of B words, more F's and liberal amount of C's) Monday to Friday and (Hang up and swear more) Holy fuck, it's 8.14 pm where I am Aaaaaaaargh! So, anyone able to inform me what prefix I need to call a US number? Thanks |

** 1 866 924-6676
Replace ** with your international calling prefix. For me it's 00. Don't know what it is in the UK. |

001 866 924-6676 should get you to a message telling you that "this call is not toll free"

Hey that's a handy number to have, thanks Linkster. Got all activated up aside from the fact they need access to my sponsors site before they'll approve the ad.

Fair enough that it's not toll-free but to take so long to tell us? Anyone would think that the telcos were in cahoots :-))))
