Could it possibly be that you need to dial another 0 to dial out of your
office's internal phone network?
Other than that, it should work from the UK: The German country code is
+49 indeed, and from all I see on the internet, to make an international
call from the UK you need to dial 00 instead of the +.
You're not including the leading 0 of the inner-German regional code,
are you? If, say, the number to dial in Germany is 0221-221212, then
you'd have to dial 0049-221-221212. But I guess you know that.
That said, with all the networks being digital these days, and status
messages probably no longer being transmitted in speech form, it may
well be your UK carrier that generates the "number not available"
message, even when you get the inner-German part of it wrong.
