Got called by this number like four times, but every time there was silence when I answered. Looks like just one of those annoying calls.

01256391000. Got a call from a call centre about broadband and telecoms, they said they weren't selling anything but it was obvious they were trying to sell stuff.
3 years
Really pushy, kept insisting to talk to someone like they actually know them. The person they were after had no clue who they were and they were trying to squeeze loads of info out of us.

Got a call from a woman who didn’t say who she was, and she was quite sharp with me. She wanted to speak to my colleague, but when I said he was tied up and offered to pass a message on, she just said she’d get in touch with him herself. She wasn’t very polite or professional. After reading some of these reviews, I’m thinking it might’ve been a scam. Considering who she was after, I’d guess it was something related to telecoms.

They sounded really sure of themselves on the call, asking for someone they said they'd chatted with not long ago, but that person actually left our firm ages ago. Looks like they’re working off some old telecom sales contact list.

Cheers for the replies, I've gone ahead and blocked that number now.

Ended up speaking to a call centre, and as soon as I said no to their questions, they just cut me off. They kept ringing me back loads over a couple of days.

Rob from some telecom firm, had the same annoying experience as others mentioned. He was rude, a bit arrogant and just wouldn't give up. He claimed my MD was meant to call his mate back but hadn’t done so. I told him my MD wouldn’t be speaking to them coz I’m the one handling calls and we’re not interested. Still, he kept pestering me with questions after I said no thanks. He kept asking for my name but didn’t give his, saying he needed it to check with my MD about what I said. I said goodbye and just hung up. Calls like this are such a waste of time for businesses.

Proper arrogant salesman who reckoned his cheeky charm would sway me. Didn’t know who he was messing with that day, for sure. Kept going on like I was clueless when I said I wasn’t up for any new phone deals. I cut him off and blocked the number straight away.

Someone's been ringing our office line for weeks straight, sounding really nasty to the reception staff and making disgusting comments about the women working here. When we asked them to stop, they just kept bombarding our phone with calls for like 10 minutes non-stop before we managed to block them through our system. Proper annoying and unacceptable behaviour.

Got a call around 8.30 in the morning (bit early if you ask me). They wanted to chat to whoever handles the broadband. Wasn’t too rude or anything, just not very friendly either. I ended the call when they kept asking questions even after I said I was fine with my current provider. Weird approach, really - that persistent cold calling didn’t exactly win me over. More irritating than outright harassment, but I guess some folks might feel different.

Absolutely blunt, I don’t get it? Surely they realise that such a tone will just put everyone off and no one will answer!

Got a call from Southern Communications about telecoms. They wanted to chat with the MD. I asked for more details first, but they said I was being rude and didn’t get it. Told them again what I’d said loads of times before - we’re happy with our current provider. Then I just ended the call.

Usually I’m not a fan of these calls, they can be pretty annoying, but this telecom company was quite persistent for a good reason. They offer solid products at decent prices. Definitely worth a quick 5 minutes to hear them out.

southern communications, or scl as they call themselves, must be living under a rock if they havent noticed the internet and ai about to steal their jobs. bless them, stuck in the 20th century still. internet? yeah, click here. calls costing less? click. broadband that's cheaper? click. oh and dont forget free tea click. simple as that, job sorted. now you can hang up the internet in less time than it took to read this.

Absolutely infuriating! They claimed that our phone contract isn’t with BT but rather with BT Local. Well, it's definitely with BT BUSINESS, no two ways about it. I've jotted down the number and won't be picking up. They can keep trying to pester us; we're simply not engaging. Hopefully, they'll get the hint and move along soon enough!

I've been getting calls from this number nearly every day. It's the same chap each time, acting all familiar as if we're mates or something, just to get me to engage. I've already had to ring them up a couple of times to ask them to quit calling, so we'll have to wait and see if they finally take the hint...

I've been receiving persistent calls from this number, which I gather belongs to Southern Communications. They seem relentless in their attempts to get you to subscribe to one of their phone packages. If they don't catch you on a direct line, they sneakily ring through reception, pretending to represent BT. It’s incredibly irksome!
