I can't tell you who it is (Google returns no results) but it is a number allocated to Cable and Wireless (aka Energis) and is charged at 10ppm. Sounds like a scam to me if you are being put on automated hold.

NEVER call back a number you don't know, especially an NGN!

The number for C&W's switchboard is 01908 845 000. Call them up and say you wish to report a scam being operated by a number on their network.

As jgxenite points out, probably a scam. When I say scam, I mean that it generates revenue for the scammer when you call it. Such scams exist because there are people out there who actually call these numbers back thereby paying them!  Huh  Roll Eyes

I never call an 0870 number but if anybody leaves me there's on my answer service I obtain the STD number and give the an 0870 number.

I do not gain anything but revenge is sweet.
