Trying to call from a land line now. I know its not a Dublin number, but don't know where it is.

I'm calling from Dublin, is there some of it I should be leaving out?

Sorry for the retardedness of this post. I'm sick, maybe that has something to do with my stupidity.

Whay! Go me.

EDIT: Also there's another thread about o2 calling from a northern line to get people to change their connection type. Might be that?

Chances are that you're seeing the UK caller ID, which means that you'd have to dial +44 before it in order to call it back.

But why bother ? Chances are (from the links given) that it's a scam line.

If it's genuine and they want to contact you, let them ring again.

no wait I already did that and I got an answering machine.

That may well be the right number, but without the first 3 digits could that not be mistaken for a Dublin number?

why? there are more places in the country with 7 digit numbers than just Dublin.

090 is South Roscommon/Athlone/Ballinasloe

If it's Athlone, the prefix is 090 and must be a 7 digit number

So from Dublin you must dial 090 1234567. Dialing 5 digits in Dublin will get you nowhere.

If it's a UK number you must dial 0044901234567

If it's Turkey you must dial 00901234567

Still getting nothing but I think that you are right. The phone must just be off the hook. Perfectly understandable if this is a 9-5 business line, which it may well be.

thansk

ps: I noticed the misspelling of 'thanks' but decided to leave it there in keeping with the other atrocious spelling mistakes I've made tonight!
