However, the 845 prefix is used for special rate phone numbers in the UK and as far as I am aware these numbers can only be reached from within the UK. If you've been trying to call a business or institution they should also provide a regular telephone number for you to call. Anyway, go ahead and try dialing the number without the starting zero - who knows, you might get lucky. </p> http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/topic/call-from-romania-to-uk#post-4304 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 10:33:35 +0000 Morzyan 4304@http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/ <p>Hey guys ,<br /> at the moment I am in Romania and I wish to make a call in Glasgow UK at the number 0845 641 5??? .

Just leave out the starting 11 and you'll be able to see what I mean. Probably 11 is a code they use to place state to state calls.
