Anyone know this UK phone number 07501 222298?

Question

Some company phone me wanting me to reclaim bank charges, I politely said no but they wouldn't hang the phone up!!

Over 10 mins & every time I try to make a call on MY phone this bloody man kept saying hello will you talk to me now?

They're still on the line and I can't make a phone call because they won't hang up!!

HEELPPP???

Answer 1

I've tryed to ring them, the number is disconnected, so I guess they only make outgoing calls from it.

I suggest ringing you phone provider and having the number blocked.

If they ring again tell them that 'you are dead' and you are a grieving relative and you don't appriciate insensertive calls like this right now,

failling that blast an airhorn down the phone every time they ring you, they'll get message or they'll go deaf.

If none of the above work, change your number and report them to the police.

Answer 2

07501 is a number range originally Vodafone.

0701 is a personal number range - need extra digits to identify original company designation.

Google "UK STD CODES" to find UK dialling code lists.

Answer 3

That's creepy...

Answer 4

Don't know the number M but I do know there is a scam going on whereby you get a phone call which goes on an on and then you find YOU have to pay the bill.  I am sorry if I am scaring you but just thought you should be aware.  It hasn't happened to me thank goodness.  As someone else said try making a high pitch noise down the phone that will get rid of them!

Answer 5

I'm glad you're sorted now - as if you haven't got enough to put up with at the moment

Yes, BT may be able to help - I hope so

Answer 6

I tried to do a reverse trace on the number, but it isn't registered. Sorry, don't know any other way of finding out who it belongs to for you.

Answer 7

It sounds like a scam. they are fishing for your bank details. unplug your phone from the wall give it five mins and plug it back then ring your phone company and black list the number.

Answer 8

That's really strange...I've been getting calls from an 0701 number as well...I don't recognise it and each time I answer;  the person hangs up. They rang today and I just didn't answer.

It might be that they want me to ring them back to check who it is...then I'd be charged £1.50 a minute or something.

Answer 9

I had that years ago Gartom. For 35mins all I could hear was the local radio station playing and this voice said he was on his way round. My fella was on holiday with his Dad and I was petrified. It was in about 1987, I didn't have a mobile and I couldn't hang them up !! Still don't know who it was !!

Answer 10

If they are on the line gart punch the Hash Key several times it knocks their computer automated dialling off !!

Answer 11

A whistle down the line usually works for me....

Answer 12

Line is free now.

Answer 13

Its Gordon Brown trying to get some money off you.

Answer 14

ring them back at 3am see how they like that.

Answer 15

They are sneeky M I had this the other week every time i tried to answer they hung up it turned out to be my mobile phone contratc people phones 4 u wanting to upgrade me two months early.

It was not nice being on end of calls and just becasue no one was there to talk to me when i answered it was gone mad as h**l.

Tell him next time you are calling police for harassment that will stop him.

Answer 16

uk numbers starting 07 are mobile numbers, so it would be very difficult to trace it I am afraid.

that is seriously creepy, but hopefully his credit/battery will run out soon and you can contact the police.
