In the unverified list, is given as the switchboard. You could try that.

You may also like to try other similar numbers. Out of hours might be best and hopefully you will find another suitable alternative.

Thanks Adam.

I checked those numbers and found them as you say. Have removed them from the Live Database till a new alternative is found. As well as not working, they've been taken over by BSH Appliance Care, and the only one I can advise DOES work is the Customer Care number, .

I shall be looking into it over the next week.   

I am currently in contact with Bosch by email to avoid using their 0870 number as I need an engineer, but so far it been fruitless as they are still asking me to call this number, and say they have no alternative geographical number, and the only one that I found, just puts you through to an operative who then tells you to phone the 0870 number!!!  The operative said that a lot of people complain to them about this, but the company have no intention of changing it.

Thank you for this. I have added Bosch to the list of companies with whom I will not deal in the future.

My only other suggestion (bit off message but trying to help), if the given number doesn't work and the appliance is out of guarantee, is to try & find a local independent repairer.   If you bought from a member of the Euronics Group (a collection of independent electrical retailers who share bulk buying benefits on price but give good, proper service) they may be able to point you in the right direction.  If not, any friendly, local independent electrical retailer will probably know of a reliable local repair man who could help.   Often, there are parts which can be used by different brands.   I tend NEVER to use the manufacturer's repair system after the end of the guarantee.

Did you  not dial 1471 after the engineers call? sometimes by doing this you can get the geo number they called from, if no one has called your number since they called you, it might still work.

Hi. I tried to advise a revised number but the message facility on the contacts page doesn't work - just says verification code problem. I therefore went to the trouble of registering just to send this message but logging in did not seem to work either! Eventually found out that the site needs cookies enabled so had to do this just for this session. Then tried to copy and paste my original message into here but site has disabled right-click so had to disable Java temporarily to re-enable right-click! What a lot of hassle just in order to try to be helpful!

Hello
The revised alternative number for 0870 567 8910 is 01908 328300. This is listed under BSH Appliance Care, Bosch Appliance Care, Bosch and Guggenau.
Hope this is helpful.
