Whats his real tele number?

A buyer off ebay texted me about a sale and the number it gives is 44770737*** All my credit is on another phone so I need a number I can dial on another phone but this number doesnt work, is it a text centre number or something and not actually his ?

Iam hoping I just need to put an 011 or something on the front, my guesses so far what the real area code would be have failed.

44 is the code for the UK.
Therefore his number is (take away the 44 and add a 0) 0770 737***

When I try that, it dials and connects through to a constant clear tone while printing number error on the screen till I hang up :confused:

Which network is he, can you tell ? Maybe I'll phone his network center about it

Pretty sure it's an O2 number.

I doubt you'll get an area code as such because it looks a lot like a mobile number unless he has texted you via the net.

I would go through normal comms channels rather than text messages myself.

I just managed to speak to him by swapping sim cards around luckly the text message stays with the phone. forgot to ask him his number though lol, said he'll phone back this evening.
