I had a rather frustrating experience with a company called Mobiles for Free. When I reached out, I found myself speaking to a chap named Dean, who claimed to be a supervisor. It was evident that they were undertaking a bit of cold calling, relying on the notion that my mobile contract would soon be up for renewal-specifically, they mentioned it would be in about four months. When I inquired whether they had confirmed all the necessary details with the Telephone Preference Service before reaching out, Dean assured me they had. However, this clearly wasn’t the case, as I'm indeed registered with TPS. If memory serves, the number listed for customer support was 08717167685. Quite the shoddy practice, if you ask me!

I received a call today from that number, and it was a bit of a mystery call. When we tried to return the call, we were greeted with a message saying, “Please hold while we try to connect your call.” But then, it just kept ringing without ever getting through. Quite the puzzler! Any idea what steps we ought to take next?

We experienced something quite similar earlier today, on the 20th of January, 2009. A huge thank you to these sites-we decided against returning the call. It's become our habit to quickly look up any missed calls online after they ring through.

It's absolutely absurd how this number alongside 01792761030 behaves in exactly the same way. What a complete farce!

Received a call from this number, and the moment we answered, they hung up. Not planning to return the call given the comments I've seen. However, I will drop an email to O2 regarding this matter.

This number just gave us a bell and promptly hung up. I reckon it’s linked to O2, but we haven’t bothered to ring it back.

I've experienced something very similar; I had an arrangement that lasted six months but eventually decided to part ways with it. They mentioned they’d give us a ring later on.

Absolutely the same experience here!

This number, along with 01792761030, behaves in an identical fashion. It's utterly absurd!

We've just received a missed call from this number. However, after reading your experiences, it's clear we won't be returning the call or answering should they ring again! Someone really ought to alert O2 or even the authorities about this!

I've lost count of the times this number has called us regarding our O2 agreement. Each time, we explain the same situation: my contract has actually finished up after another year, and yet they assure us it won’t occur again. Alas, here we are, still dealing with the same old saga. It's quite frustrating, to say the least!

I've just received a call from that 0143 number regarding an O2 contract. Oddly enough, a similar lot contacted me the other day using 01792482440. Quite the coincidence, wouldn't you say?

Just had a run-in with some muppets trying to push us into upgrading to a completely daft phone. We fed them a load of nonsense, and then she went straight for our bank details, to which we said we didn't have any. Next thing, she told us to ring back, but there’s no way we’re falling for that! It’s such a shame because I know some folks can easily get duped by this sort of thing. She was close to having us, then started digging for more personal info, and when we pressed her on why they're not showing up on our caller ID, she muttered something about client confidentiality. Honestly, steer clear of these clowns - they'll try you on from private numbers too!

We really need to pop over to the bank and shut down our current account after checking out this site. Honestly, what a right load of foolishness these individuals are! We'll definitely be taking this up with our local constabulary!

I’ve had the same experience, quite frankly. Just another bothersome call. I won't be returning any of their calls, that's for sure.

Absolutely, I’ve had a rather similar experience! A number from this lot rang me, only to cut the line abruptly. I decided to ring them back, and they promptly began questioning me about my O2 contract renewal-though I’m not even on a contract myself! It was rather bizarre. When we asked to speak to a manager, their representative was quite rude and hung up on us. We tried connecting again, only to face the same hang-up routine. It seems to me like it might be a small group operating in a rather dodgy manner!

Received a call from this number earlier today, but they hung up straight away. I’ve come across this number on various websites, where it’s listed as a company trying to gather information regarding phone contracts. Apparently, O2 provides their customer contact details to them!

Those annoying cold calls we receive these days really are a blight on our everyday lives. If you're one of those individuals indulging in this nonsense, might I suggest you reconsider your choices and seek employment that aligns with some ethical principles? It’s about time we put a stop to such intrusive tactics.

Earlier today, we received a call from the same number mentioned above, but there was absolutely no one on the other end. When we tried to call back, we experienced the same eerie silence as before! Quite peculiar, to say the least.

So, we had a call from these folks, answered it, and they just hung up on us. They then tried again using a work number, but it was all quite vague as the number was just read out. I'm a bit concerned that by answering the first call, they might have managed to snag some of our info or even charge us for the call somehow. Fingers crossed that's not the case!

We received a call from this number, and when we answered, the caller abruptly hung up. So, we decided to return the call, and the first thing we heard was, "Please hold while we try to connect your call." After that, the line just kept ringing without anyone picking up. Quite odd, to say the least!

Received a call from the 01438 number earlier today, and it seems like they’ve also been using the 01792 482440 number! We're currently tied into a contract with O2, which is nearing its conclusion. Has anyone reached out to O2 regarding this issue?

It seems these individuals may warrant a report to OFCOM, as their actions appear quite illegal here in the UK. They've been attempting to get in touch, likely because they’re aware I've barely five weeks left on our agreement.

We continue to get these pesky calls, but since we take our time to pick up (I like to investigate who’s ringing before diving in), we haven't had the chance to chat with any of them just yet. Our plan is to keep them on the line for as long as possible before… Oops! Looks like I’ve lost connection. Haha!
