This is in all probability NOT a UK number.

I suspect that the call originates from (+1) area code 607.

The number that is transmitted in CLI form does NOT include 0 or 00
in front. But it has a "natioanl/international" flag elsewhere in the 
protocol. So the receiving telco can prepend the appropriate code for
the "+". E.g. I call the USA it SHOULD show up as 011448703212282 but if 
I call Germany they will see 00448703212282.

Unfortunately, that flag is very often not properly set, so you get the
"STD access code" in front (i.e. 0, instead of 00).

I see this all the time on inbound calls.
