Phone number ☎️ 01226666786 👆 is reported as a nuisance number associated with unsolicited calls claiming to offer free medical alert pendants or devices, often targeting individuals over 50 or those with mobility concerns. Callers, frequently using a male voice and vague location claims such as Dorset or Bournemouth, request personal information but fail to provide clear company details, leading many to suspect a scam. Several recipients noted the callers’ reluctance or inability to explain how they obtained personal data, and some calls end abruptly when questioned. The calls appear to be attempts to sell subscription services or charge fees after an initial free offer. Caution is advised; it is best not to share personal information or engage with calls from this number.

4 yearsOn 20th April, around 5.30pm, I got a call from a bloke saying I qualified for a free medical alert pendant. He asked if I struggled with mobility or was concerned about falling, and whether I lived alone. When I asked where he had my info from, he said the NHS. I told him to email the details so my partner could check it out. He said the pendant was free if I ordered over the phone, but if I waited for an email, I'd have to pay £180. It was so dodgy I just ended the call. Honestly, some people are just awful.NHS4 yearsSomeone called saying they had a free medical alert gadget, but then tried to sign me up for a 99p daily subscription.

Eventually, he lost patience and just hung up on me.4 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming I was eligible for a medical alert pendant.
