    Dutch telephone number

    I'm looking at the web page for a Dutch taxi firm, and they give a 6-digit phone number (not beginning with 0). How does that work? What should be dialled on a UK mobile in NL to get this 6-digit number?

    Dutch phone numbers have 10 digits (including the 0), except for some special numbers that are often freephone in NL, but you can't phone those from abroad afaik. You need to find another taxi firm with a 10 digit number, or look for a 10 digit number on the website.

    Is it a 'treintaxi' or 'regiotaxi'?
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

      Thanks.

      Don't know what kind of taxi it is. I googled "taxi Buitenpost" because that distant Frisian outpost is where I might need one. Got Waaksma Taxis but via some taxi search site - actually it looks like a nationwide franchise/umbrella.whatever. Hoiwever I did get a 10-digit phone number for Waaksma Buitenpost from their website so I hope I'm sorted. Probably won't need it anyway, as long as there's a taxi at the station.

          Don't bet on there being a taxi at the station!

          If its a large station then yes, a small station then best to book one.

            Anybody know the Siebel EIM mapping for S_EVT_MAIL, while I'm here?

              Reminds me of typical conversations with cloggies;

              Cloggie; 'Dis country is ferry densely populated.'
              MTT; 'Nonsense; there's plenty of space in Friesland.'
              Cloggie; 'Yes, but nobody wants to live dere.'

                Not me, but somebody probably does and I'm sure he'll be happy to invoice you for the answer.

                  No, that's my job... wouldn't want it to be too easy, everybody'd be doing it.
