Often, I'll get an email or text with a phone number in it, or find the number on a website. Usually it works fine to just tap the number and it will dial. But if it's a UK freephone number (0800), I get a message saying I need to redial without the leading 0.

To get around this, I usually copy the number into Notes, edit and then copy again without the 0, and paste into the phone keypad. It's a pain!

Is there a better way?
