Title: Unknown number - 0871 2000272
Post by kevg123 on Jul 13th, 2007 at 6:57pm
Can anyone help me with this number. 08712000272    It is on my phone bill everyday at 15:03 for 6 seconds. I am with talk talk and they cannot help. I have broadband so it's not a dial up number. I do have a sky box thats connected to the phone line, could it be this.
Please help. I have tried searching for it but i have drawn a blank.

Unable to find any reference to it with Google, however it is a number thats operated by BT.  :-/

Have you by any chance got a BT Monitor (or another) alarm system ??

If it's every day at the same time, and you suspect the sky box, could i suggest you power off the box before 1503 one day, then check your online phone statement?

Thanks for your help. I have an alarm system with ADT and because it's 24hr monitored it dials in everyday.
It would have been nice if they had told me the system does that everyday.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to find out what it was.

I assume you PAY for that 'monitoring' service already.  

If so, why should you PAY AGAIN for the daily call which is presumably made to verify that the system is functional - so that you can PAY for the monitoring?  

Indeed, why should you increase ADT's profits by allowing them to cream off a proportion of the cost of that daily PREMIUM RATE call?  Even if each call only costs 7p (6p connection and a tenth of the 10p/minute call cost), that's a hidden £25 or more per annum!  You're already paying for the service anyway.

I'd say it's time you contacted ADT to tell them that, unless they come (at their expense) to reprogram your alarm to dial a freephone number each day, you will terminate the contract.

Same old story.  See posts Arrogant Companies - ADT started 6 April 2005.
