Sometimes Orange will give you a message saying that you can't make calls to those #s. It appears arbitrary on my phone (sometimes the same 800 is blocked and the next day I can call it.) When I MUST get through and only the 800 # is avalable, this is what I've done:
Try looking online for an alternative # but many times they aren't available OR you can't get online.
IF you have a bill or statement for the company, check it to see if it has alternative #s (sometimes your bank statement will list them for withdrawals or debts).
IF you still can't find a number, this has worked for me nearly every time...
Look at where the company is located. If you have access (or know) the area code, many companies have the same regular phone number with the local area code in front of it. Even if it isn't the branch you want, you can usually explain and get to where you want/need to be. For example, if you are trying to reach a company in Staten Island NY and the regular area code for that locality is 718, substitute the 1-718 for the 1-800...in front of the number.
I know this sound convoluted but I've had to use it a number of times when finding a plain non-800 number was near impossible and I HAD to reach the place.
Good luck!
