Are there any sites that can tell me who owns the number? I tried a google search and it didn't show up.

The first time this number rang me I answered and then it started ringing again as if it was being diverted to somewhere else. So I hung up straight away. It keeps ringing but I don't want to answer it incase it's some sort of con. (divert you to a premium rate number maybe, assuming it's possible)

I've had something similar recently, 2-3 times a day.
As soon as it's started ringing, i've also hung up.
I'll make a note of the number if it happens again

first try ringing bt they might be able to help or at least put you onto some one who will or maybe ofcom and put a complaint in hope this helps steve.

Just put the number in your addy as DON'T ANSWER, then when it rings again just reject it

AFAIK, you can't be charged for an incoming call. If they redirect you somewhere else, THEY pay for the call.

Thats right. I asked about that when i rang NTL to get something done about nuisance calls as i was sick of it ringing every 10 minutes

Funny you should mention that. I checked my balance and waited for the number to ring again and it was bl**dy NTL wanting to know if I'd got a leaflet through the door about their phone offer.

So case solved, it was NTL being far too persistant for my liking.

Yup, its an automatic dialer, when an agent is free the system automatically calls you, whats annoying though when when you answer the agent has already took another call so you end up being put on hold WTF Had it quite alot from Egg. When I finally got through they had some verbal abuse and they havent done it since...lol

I thought automatic diallers were illegal or is that only in the Simpsons

computer dials all the no.s on a disk/or at random eg 12345 then 12346 etc on pick up it transferes call to an operator easy and gets round ex directory no,s
