Many thanks to everyone for all your e-mails. If you have a geographic alternative for any of these numbers, please e-mail me via the contact page, and I’ll share with everyone.

Even better, if you work for any of these companies and know the geographic alternative numbers, please e-mail me in confidence.

In recent times, I’ve received a large number of e-mails and comments on the site where people are asking for the geographical alternative numbers for various companies and organisations.

While I’m happy to help out wherever I can, there are a couple of things that I’d love if people could do first, before contacting the website here:

1. If you’re already on the phone speaking to someone within that organisation, ask them for a geographic alternative phone number – or ask them if there’s a phone number they can give you that you can call from abroad.
2. Check the website of the company or organisation you’re looking for the alternative number for – many websites provide their geographic alternative number on their site – normally under the “call from abroad” heading if there is one.

If you manage to get an alternative number using either of these methods above, you should still e-mail me here letting me know the number so that I can share with everyone else – that’ll make things easier for everyone else, and save them wasting time repeating the above steps.

If you still don’t get an alternative, then by all means send me and e-mail here asking for the alternative. I can either have a quick check myself, or I will post something here to ask if anyone else has the alternative number.

If you are e-mailing, please send the following information to make things easier:

1. The full company or organisation name, and the specific department or area you’re trying to contact.
2. The existing 1890, 1850 or 0818 phone number that you already have – this is very important as it helps narrow down the search for the alternative number

With the above information, it’ll make it easier to find what the alternative number might be – just giving a company name as many have done in the past is pretty much useless.
