Please press hash to accept call
Had a couple of unknown calls on my Orange mobile with automated announcement saying "please press hash or say ok to accept call".
I've hung up in both instances but wondering what it is. I'm on the TPS btw.

You can't be charged for an incoming call, but if you do answer then they know that your number is "live" (oops, too late 
).
Just leave the message to continue until it cuts off - that way you are costing them a few nano-pennies for their trouble.
Or say "OK", find out who they are, tell them to **** off and report them to TPS!!
There seem to be an awful lot more of these (and SPAM text messages) recently - i blame the ConDems
