I need to call this company using Yahoo Voice or Skype. Does anyone know how I can do it?
Yahoo cant figure out wtf '08700 007007' is - doesnt matter if I set my local country to USA or the UK. What am I doing wrong?

They can't figure out toothpaste. You think they are going to get the telco right?

I just read that skype are now allowing toll free numbers but it does say to use the international format so maybe you need to use +44 8700 007 007.
This link may be helpful.
However given the title of the thread maybe I should be offended...
