A friend of mine has relatives in Germany so when registering with
Sipgate he chose the option of a German number for incoming/outgoing
PSTN calls. The number allocated is 0048 1801 ************
German 01801 numbers appear to be like our 0845 numbers, i.e. 'shared
cost'
I can't call his German number from the UK as I get a recorded message
'this number is not available' as soon as 1801 is dialled. I don't
think you can dial our 0845 numbers from abroad either, so does anyone
know if I'm right in thinking that this number can only be used from
within Germany? If so, that will suit him fine but it will be no good
him giving out the number to people outside Germany.
