You can call Qantas on their geographic number, 020 8600 4300 (+44 20 8600 4300). As a general resource in the UK there is a website listing geographic numbers for most organisations: https://www.saynoto0870.com/
I think that the point is that 0845 is listed on Qantas site as the number to call for those calling on mobile phones. Some mobiles will not charge for 0800, but some do ( or used to )

You can call Qantas on a geographic number as long as you either know it, or know of how to find it out. QF chooses to advertise an 0845 number rather than its geographic number, which is a the problem.
