In a previous article a reder mentions the unavailability of the uk 0898 services outside the UK, well 0898 is not an area code but refers to a premium rate service, charged at an extortionate 38p per min peak and 25p per min off peak. I think this is similar to the US prtyline type rate?? In London, to get the speaking clock, we can dial 123. I think you should be able to get the South Western England weather on Exeter 8091, i.e. +44 392 8091, where 392 corresponds to 0392 for Exeter. I'll check on that. Also dialling Exeter 8061 (+44 392 8061) will give the loacl commercial radio station on air number - i.e. you hear the station exactly as it is heard here in the South West!
