Tried dialling 0300 123 5000 for National Highways to report an emergency, but you've blocked this number. Ended up having to dial 999 which was slightly over the top for an incident that could've been dealt with via National Highways.

 

Why block 0300 numbers when they're the same as 0800 numbers?

​@Stuart Allison I can confirm this this number is not blocked on IDMobile. I've just called the number and it rang out then the prerecorded message kicked it.

So it may well be something your enabled bor a possible not work issues in the area your calling from.

      That number works just fine when called from my iD Mobile too.

        Sorry, this posted after I'd been in a LiveChat. iD have added the number to their lists, however some other 0300 numbers cannot be dialled as they are not included. Thank you both for your replies
