	My April & May telephone bills show multiple calls to this number made in the early hours of the morning. Many calls were made while I was overseas and they all last for 7 seconfds. Can anyone help throw any light on this?

	Are you on dial up rather than Broadband? If so and if this your dial up number, your computer could be trying to to get on line....just a thought.

	Good suggestion, but no. While I was away my PC, router etc were all switched off when these calls were logged, also I'm on broadband. But thanks for the thought.

Sounds to me like a burglar alarm calling home to report its status and failing for some reason. I think it's outrageous that these companies use revenue-generating numbers when (I'm sure) users are already paying for the alleged service. BTW, 0871 200 numbers are charged (from a BT landline) at (surprise, surprise) 10p per minute at all times. So each 7 second call probably cost you 16p (i.e. 6p connection + 10p for the first [incomplete] minute).

	After years of ignoring govt. guidelines & RIPPING OFF Council Tax payers using 0845 numbers, Essex County Council changed to 0345 numbers on 2 November 2015
