Are you doing ignorepat somewhere?
If not, you'll need to chop off the 8 at the beginning.

Also, since I'm not sure...

Does * pick up the line and dial, then fail? Or does it fail before it picks
up the line?

Do you have X100 --> PSTN working for non-UK calls? If so, try your entry
into the other context and see if it fails there as well. (Maybe something
leading up to this particular choice is hosed?
