Title: Unknown number - 0800 2800968 (Missed calls)
Post by MisterA on Feb 6^th, 2008 at 3:26pm

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to this site, so I hope this is the right forum to post this message. For the last few days, whilst outside the UK (within Europe), I keep being called on my UK mobile by the number +448002800968. Whenever I answer the phone, the line goes dead (I don't have this problem with other callers), and when I try to ring back, the number just keeps ringing without anyone answering. No voicemails are left by the caller.

I've Googled the number, plus "0800" variants, and searched this site to no avail. Can anyone tell me who the number belongs to?

best regards,
Mister A

Most importantly
NEVER RING AN 0800 FROM A MOBILE

The rest we can deal with in a while

------------------------
EDIT
At 1014 today I rang it, dropping the +44 and replacing with 0 (shouldn't make a difference) and it has the ringtone of a foreign phone, but no answer.
So who is it? Don't know yet
Does it cost you? Only if you answer it while abroad

If you try searching www.whocallsme.com you might get some additional info about this number from there.

I was woken up this morning at 00:47 by a call from this number. When I call back it is "temporarily out of order".
The only reference I can find to this number is on whocallsme.com http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/08002800968

I am not the only person that they have been calling in the early hours of the morning.

On this thread, opinion varies as to the company that is doing the calling. Can anyone shed any light?

I have never registered with the TPS as I have never been plagued by marketing calls, so who can I complain to?

Many thanks from a newbie (who did read the FAQ!)

Have you tried ringing 01702 348834 (as suggested by "Dave" on "who calls me?")? It appears the culprit is Converso.

Thanks, yes I did. But they could not tell me whether this 0800 belonged to them or one of their clients. Read would not for could not in my opinion. I have been promised a callback, but so far nothing.

See post by "paul" on 15 Feb which says he has traced it back to www.play2up.co.uk gambling site.

Don't know about that, but did get in touch with Coverso http://www.converso.co.uk/contactDetails.asp who admitted to a technical error.

My complaint to Ofcom http://www.ofcom.org.uk/media/mofaq/telecoms/silentfaqs/will be on three points:
1. The time of the call (ten to one in the morning)
2. No recorded message (just silence)
3. No valid return number (number invalid when dialling 0800 2800968)

Have I missed anything?
Thanks.
