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.

Not had that yet but same as you on TPF & FPS and the amount of crap you still get is amazing.

Best to hang up

Was my first reaction, expensive charges coming my way.

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 :eek:).

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 feck 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 ;)
