0845 numbers
 
Ok I need to get in touch with tesco insurance to cancel my insurance, but I can only find an 0845 number, and I'm pretty sure you can't call them from abroad,

I've mailed the twats and got no response,

any ideas how to get in touch with them?

ta.

Spugs, check the T's and C's for driving abroad. Should have a number to call for claiming etc while using the 'green card'. May not be customer services, but they should be able to put you through. Did this with Churchill a wee while back...

you never used to be able to ring those numbers but I think you can now

I just had a wonderful chat with british gas about a threat of court action over 40 quid for a house I sold a year ago

my UK docs have an 0845 and no combination seemed to work. I just got a friend in the UK to pretend she was me.
