Can any one recommend a 0800 number that I can test calls to. Perhaps
an information line that the owner wouldn't mind being called.

Thanks

I cannot say whether they mind or not, but I have been known to call 0800
052 2000 (NTL support line, happy memories!)

I usually use the Orange info line, 0800 801080 but this has now changed
to 0800 079 5000.

That's ok, they'll never answer it anyway.

Depends what you want to test. If it's just the phone line, I use 1471
to test for outgoing calls, and 1475 for incoming (for a BT line). Not
0800, though.

Well, thanks for your reply, but since this is uk.telecom.voip that's
not really appropriate !!
