Dialling Sweden from UK?

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone in the UK (or Sweden) could help...
Why can’t I dial any numbers in Sweden with the (0)771 prefix - such as ticnet. I can call any other number to Swe except that prefix.
Thanks for your help.

Yep
Dialled - 0046771—— and I get a dull continuous tone.
I have tried ringing random nos to Sweden that have this 771 prefix found on the net and it doesn’t connect for any, but if I dial a number with any other prefix it does.
I was just wondering if the (0)771 prefix is a special code and may be blocked on my phone for some reason. Suppose I should ring Telewest tomorrow.

I’m thinking it could be the UK version of say, 0845, which can only be dialled within the UK, someone outside, could not dial +44845 etc.
Surely someone in the UK or elsewhere has dialled ticnet?!?!
Hmmm, possibly the number you have is for Sweden only?

I believe that u can’t call out side of sweden 2 them... 0771 isn’t a area code... 07xx nr are more expensive 2 call ...

sorry if my advice was useless, thats genuinely what i would have tried. oam.
oshtay said on May 10, 2004 23:56:
No definately not useless oam.
Thanks for your help all.
Number works OK on a friends phone (BT), but for some reason my cable phone just will not connect to these numbers with that prefix. Strange.
