I am translating a text about a new cordless telephone. There are several reference to the Telecom Italia 187 service.
What I want to know is how I go about including this in the translation since this only exists in Italy (I think).
Example: Per ulteriori informazioni La invitiamo a rivolgersi al 187.
Another example is the use of the number 41412 which is another Telecom Italia service.

The text you're translating is, I guess, about Telecom services. So, you have to keep those numbers. If an English-speaker person read the brochure and he/she needs information or help, he/she sould call those numbers (187 and 41412). I don't think there is or there are different numbers specialized for non-Italian speaking customers (or, at least, such a stuff didn't exist when I worked for that company). As an alternative you may add the numbers to contact those services (187 and 41412) from abroad (if you know them).

: telecom is the main italian provider of telephone services - if you know the country where the telephone is going to be used, you might search for the costumer service numbers of the equivalent provider - if you don't, you can only leave it as 187
