jovidaha Newbie Offline Posts: 2	Does anyone recognise 0871 2005087? May 20^th, 2008 at 4:55pm 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?

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
