Answer 1

This is a new trick premium rate and unsolicited calling companies are employing. They phone you and the call is disconnected as you pick up the phone. Then you, wondering who it is dial 1471/look at Caller ID incase it's someone you know/family etc. You then ring the number and are instantly charged at least £1 probably more, making a load of cash for them.

They are real scammers I'm surprised there isn't any legislation of some sort stopping them from doing this. You can put an end to these kind of calls by making yourself ex-directory.

Answer 2

090 numbers are premium numbers £1.50 plus to call back.

There is also a scam where you get a call from an 090 number and they hang up. Most people out of curiosity dial the number to see who is calling them and that costs money.
