Three numbers keep receiving calls from my number. No one can solve the problem. We are with Euphony.?

Question

Please, has anyone out there had similar problems with their phone?

For about five months 3 separate households, all with similar numbers beginning 800... have been receiving calls at all hours of the day and night from my land line number, but no one here is calling them. Whilst we were away for 6 weeks, there were 90 calls to these three numbers. Euphony are our providers but they have never come across this problem before and seem to have given up trying to sort it. BT have checked the line too and report no fault. I am beginning to think the only option is to leave Euphony, but am reluctant, as otherwise we find it a great service that has saved us a lot of money. These strange calls do not inconvenience us, as we don't pay for them , but we do not want the poor recipients to be inconvenienced any longer. Seems that changing our provider now is the only option. Has anyone else had this happen please and if so what to do?

Recipients had their phone lines checked - report no probs

Answer 1

Wow never heard of that before. If you can get a spare one, try a different phone.

Answer 2

I know of one possibility.  It may be someone is simply playing a prank.  Bored.com has this thing on there that allows you to make a phone call to anybody you'd like and to choose which phone number comes up as the caller.  That means you could make your mom receive a call at 3 in the morning on her cell phone from your dads cell phone even if they are both next to each other sleeping and your dads cell phone was off.  Check it out at     http://www.bored.com/dialpeople/index.ph...

Answer 3

Have you been supplied with a smart box by Euphony? This is a small white box that looks like an adsl filter, the box plugs into your telephone socket and then your phone plugs into it. If so I suspect it has gone faulty, the box dials a preset number so it goes onto the Euphony software, the box has gone faulty and is now dialling these three numbers. The only way for this to stop is to plug your phones directly into the phone sockets without the smart boxes, the downside to this you will have to call Euphony and ask them for the pin number that you will have to dial before EVERY call so the call goes through their software, otherwise you will be charged by BT. Anymore probs come back and I'll try to reply.

dunno..   A friend of mine had this problem too... and happen to be an issue with an neighbor who have a wireless phone similar to him.... the problem  was that there was long distance fees involved...  i dunno if this is the case...

Answer 5

I've never heard of this company, but I'm thinking you may not reside in the U.S.?

Here, we have an option of calling back the last number that made an incoming call to our line.  Ask your provider if they offer that, and also the providers of those receiving these mystery calls.

The "receivers" of these calls could utilize "Last Number Callback" to determine WHERE / WHAT NUMBER the actual call is originating from.

I think someone managed to highjack your phone line, for unknown reasons, if they are only going to call the same 3 people.  Or, it's a computer glitch...

Either way, highly annoying....

Ask your providers to give you some tools to track down the culprit / problem.

Good luck!

Are you using any cordless phone? If so, unplug all the cordless phones and use corded phones for a few days and it might eliminate this strange problem.
