Reports on phone number 01438989246
22 daysJust two days after I decided to switch from Plusnet, I've already been getting at least a couple of silent calls each day. It's only been a short time, but the calls are really annoying.Plusnet28 daysOn my phone it shows up as EE, but it’s actually the retentions team from Plusnet ringing to try and keep me as a customer. It’s an automated call, so if you pick up and no one’s free to talk, it just drops the call. Proper irritating.Plusnet28 daysGot a call from someone trying to pitch a phone plan, claiming it'd help me save cash. Not really interested, though.1 monthThe call dropped as soon as I answered an EE number, which has been happening since I told Plusnet I’m leaving them for a better broadband deal. If EE rings me up once more, I’m definitely cancelling my EE mobile contract and switching my phone over to a different company.PlusnetEE1 monthJust got off Plusnet myself. Didn’t pick up the phone, but pretty sure they're ringing to lure me back.Plusnet1 monthI recently switched away from Plusnet and didn’t pick up when they called, but I reckon they’re trying to win me back.Plusnet1 monthThis number shows up as EE but I've only just switched away from Plusnet. They call me like 4 or 5 times daily. When I pick up, they just drop the call right away.EEPlusnet1 monthI recently cancelled my Plusnet service, and it looks like a few others have done the same. Since then, I’ve been getting calls from Plusnet customer service trying to tempt me back.Plusnet1 monthI just ignored it, reckon it was Plusnet once more trying to persuade me to renew my contract, even though I’m already in the middle of changing my broadband. They’re really pushing hard.Plusnet1 monthMy phone just flagged the call as spam straight away, which was handy. I had a look at what others were saying and it caught my eye since I’ve just ended my contract with Plusnet too. The calls keep coming nonstop, so maybe it’s them trying to get hold of me.Plusnet2 monthsSaw it was marked as a scam, so I just didn't pick up and blocked the caller straight away.2 monthsKept ringing me repeatedly, but whenever I picked up, there was nothing but silence on the other end before they just cut off after a few moments.2 monthsGot calls from the same number like 4 times today, but they didn’t leave any message. Blocked it again, hopefully that sorts it!2 monthsGets through a few times daily, up to 4 calls but never leaves a voicemail. I reckon it’s one of those internet service providers trying to peddle their broadband since I’m in the middle of switching. Have just blocked the number now.2 monthsEven though the number had my area code, I didn’t have a clue who it was. They didn’t leave a message on my answering machine, just nothing but silence! Checked this site and if it’s meant to be from Plusnet, this definitely isn’t their number. I’ve gone and blocked it now!Plusnet2 monthsGot a few calls from the Plusnet UK retention team after I moved to a different provider. I explained to them I’d changed my contract elsewhere and gave my reasons. That was the end of the chat.Plusnet UK3 monthsI reckon it's Plusnet again, having another go at persuading me to come back, lol. I've switched to someone else ages ago. I usually just bin the calls straight away, but can't seem to find a proper block option to stop them once and for all.Plusnet3 monthsmy phone rang three times from this number today3 monthsAppreciate you telling me who was calling. Plusnet's been ringing to try and win me over again, but I've switched providers now.Plusnet3 monthsI rang Vodaphone just to ask about switching my broadband from Plusnet, yet this number kept ringing me non-stop. Turns out it’s an EE line, which is actually connected to Plusnet they’re related companies. If you want to stop the calls, just dial 0800 009 2569 and a robotic voice will confirm they’ve taken your number off their contact list.VodaphonePlusnet3 monthsI saw the number but didn't answer since it wasn't familiar, and yeah, I'm actually in the process of switching away from Plusnet.Plusnet3 monthsYesterday I cancelled my Plusnet service and today they kept ringing me over and over. When I finally picked up, there was silence for a bit, then suddenly I heard a lot of noise in the background that was really loud. It was so annoying, I just hung up straight away.Plusnet3 monthsThey rang me a couple of times earlier today, on March 31st, but I missed the calls. I just switched from Plusnet broadband, so maybe it has something to do with that.Plusnet3 monthsGot two calls from this number today, 30th March, but all I got was silence both times.4 monthsThis number has called me like 4 times in just one day, it's really annoying.4 monthsI reckon it’s Plusnet. Just switched away from them and they keep bothering me to not go, but they ain’t able to install the full fibre I need at my place. So it’s just a waste for both of us, really.Plusnet4 monthsI called back and got an automated voice saying EE had tried ringing me. I've switched from Plusnet recently so maybe they're the ones calling.EEPlusnet4 monthsI've been with Plusnet through EE, but since my deal expired and they couldn't match my old digital package, I'm looking to switch providers. They've phoned me 7 times over just two days without leaving any voicemail. I'm already signed up to the Telephone Preference Service, so I've reported this as harassment because it's clearly not allowed.PlusnetEEPreference Service4 monthsAnswered the phone and the moment I said hello, the call was cut off straight away.4 monthsSounds like Kevin Bacon was ringing from EE at the butcher’s after I switched my contract away from Plusnet to buy my sausages somewhere new!Kevin BaconEEPlusnet4 monthsSame here, I recently switched from Plusnet. I made sure to screen the call so I didn’t pick up.Plusnet4 monthsThis number rang my cell but I didn’t pick up. Maybe they were trying to reach someone else? Either way, I’ve blocked it and marked it as spam just to be safe.5 monthsGot a call out of the blue, it popped up as EE on my caller ID. They left a strange message though, and since I’m not dealing with EE for anything, it felt a bit off to me. Seemed dodgy.EE5 monthsNo idea who that was, they didn’t even bother leaving a message explaining why they called.5 monthsThis number keeps ringing me up every couple of days, even though I’ve blocked it and saved it in my contacts. Really annoying!5 monthsI looked up "Numbers EE partners might ring from" and saw this number under the "Step Change" section, so I’m pretty sure it’s not a scam.EE5 monthsLike a bunch of others, my Plusnet contract's nearly finished and I'm planning on moving to a different service. This number has called me around 4 or 5 times over the last couple days, but my phone flagged it as a likely scam, so I didn't answer. I reckon, just like with others, Plusnet might be trying to convince me to stay. Still, I'm definitely going to block it since I’m not interested at all.Plusnet5 monthsJust like a lot of folks here, I decided to ditch Plusnet after my contract ended. Instead of a thank you for sticking around, they slapped me with a big increase in my bill. This number rang me loads of times, but I didn’t pick up 'cause I reckoned it was some sales or spam call. They never left a message either.Plusnet5 monthsI just switched from Plusnet too, so I’m expecting to get a bunch more calls now. Honestly, I don’t get why they keep bugging me to stay when they told me full fibre isn’t available at my place yet. I’ve already moved on to another company that can give me what I want. Still, I’m sure they’ll keep ringing me anyway.Plusnet5 monthsSame here, I recently cancelled with Plusnet and got a call that seemed like they were trying to talk me out of it. The call was definitely powerdialled though, as soon as I picked up it got dropped since no one was there to talk to me. Honestly, it’s this kind of poor customer service that pushed me to quit Plusnet in the first place. Just proves I made the right choice.Plusnet5 monthsI’m guessing this number’s from Plusnet, trying to reach me now that I’ve opted to cancel my contract early for a cheaper deal elsewhere. After a decade with them, honestly, they didn’t really value my loyalty. Had no internet for four whole days, couldn’t check on my CCTV, work from home was impossible, and missed out on my streaming services too. Not a single offer or discount to keep me hooked. Goodbye Plusnet, not even slightly sorry!PlusnetCCTV5 monthsI'm moving away from PlusNet as well since they won’t be providing a fibre landline from next year. My new provider got in touch with PlusNet a few days before my current contract finishes to arrange the switch, but PlusNet says the transfer won’t happen until a few days after my contract ends. This means I’m stuck paying an early termination fee. If I try to change the date to avoid this, they say my landline number will be cancelled and won’t transfer to the new company. Been a PlusNet customer for ages here in the West Midlands, quite frustrating.PlusNetWest Midlands5 monthsI didn't pick up the call since the number looked unfamiliar. After seeing what others have said here though, it might be EE calling. Funny enough, I actually switched from EE to a different broadband provider just earlier today. I'll wait and see if they call again, but if they keep ringing with no message, I'm defo blocking the number.EE6 monthsI told Plusnet I was switching to a broadband and TV bundle somewhere else, yet this number has called me about five times since. Even after I made clear I wasn't interested in EE, they kept ringing me up. In the end, I had to put this number on my block list.PlusnetEE6 monthsThis number rang me a moment ago, but I didn’t pick up since I thought it might be one of those spam calls. Since they didn’t leave a voicemail, I searched the number here and saw others had similar experiences - mostly folks switching from Plusnet or EE! Sounds like they're trying to persuade people not to leave. Not happening with me! Actually, there was a voicemail from them yesterday, but I ignored it because I didn’t know who it was.PlusnetEE6 monthsI’m switching from Plusnet and although I was chatting about going over to EE, their so-called “loyalty” deals just didn’t stack up against what other companies are offering right now. I told them straight I’d be leaving. When they rang, I didn’t pick up, and they didn’t bother leaving a voicemail either.PlusnetEE6 monthsI’m also thinking about quitting Plusnet. Got a couple of calls I missed and they didn’t bother leaving a voicemail or anything.Plusnet6 monthsThey didn’t leave any message, but from what I’ve read in other reviews, it seems like someone might be trying to get me back since I’m switching away from EE after being with them for ages. The price for broadband has shot up way too much recently, and I barely get any signal on my phone at home. Honestly, it just makes sense to switch to a provider offering better coverage and cheaper rates.EE6 monthsGot a call but there was no voicemail or text left. Makes me think it’s probably a sales pitch, especially since I just switched my internet provider.6 monthsI think it was EE calling me after I switched my broadband to a different company. I’d already chatted to them not long ago, and they weren't willing to match the deal from my new provider. Bit disappointing really, especially as I’d stayed loyal since EE took over Orange. Feels like they don’t really value their current customers at all.EEOrange6 monthsGot a call from Shev over at Falkirk Plus Net trying to get me onto EE broadband, saying they'd give me fibre straight to the house. Apparently Plus Net are ditching email and now want £15 just to keep it through Greenby - and the monthly cost has shot up to £29. Honestly, feels like Open Reach, BT, Plus Net, EE, Vodafone and all those other crooks are just lining their pockets at our expense.ShevFalkirk Plus NetEEPlus NetGreenbyBTVodafone6 monthsLooked up a broadband company and even on a Saturday morning I get bombarded with calls. How come they’re raising their prices next April when I’m stuck with a 2-year contract? Proper annoying they are!7 monthsCaught between options and stuck with this internet situation, we gotta have a router, no way round it. The problem is, Open Reach and BT control the whole fibre network, so it feels like we’re just being taken advantage of. Oh, and here’s a fun fact - a French investor holds a quarter of BT’s shares. Happy New Year to everyone!Open ReachBT7 monthsGot two calls from this number earlier today. I decided to check it out on this site, which is my usual go-to for identifying callers, and it’s clear it’s just a spammer. I’ve blocked the number now. Big thanks to who-called.co.uk for the help - you really take away a lot of the stress and guessing. I’d totally tell others to use the site and share their experiences to keep everyone informed. Cheers!7 monthsSaw the missed call but didn’t answer, and they didn’t leave a voicemail either. Like a bunch of others, I’m currently cancelling my Plusnet service.Plusnet7 monthsI'm also in the middle of moving away from Plusnet, so I guess this was them calling to find out my reasons. Didn't pick up though, it was a bit too early for me.Plusnet7 monthsI've been getting calls from this number twice already this week. Both times, no one picked up when I answered!7 monthsI didn’t pick up when they rang, but from what I’ve seen in the replies, it’s probably Plusnet. We looked around and found a better price elsewhere, so after being with them for quite some time, we’ve decided to leave. If they truly cared about keeping their customers, wouldn’t they offer a decent deal to keep us onboard?Plusnet7 monthsI’m switching away from Plusnet too, guess I’m not the only one. Didn’t pick up the call either. Still seems like something fishy to me.Plusnet7 monthsGot this mad call from some guy with a heavy accent, shouting stuff I couldn’t really make out about me trying to ditch Plusnet. Proper annoying. Blocked straight away.Plusnet8 monthsCalled me three times and my iPhone flagged it as spam once again. I’m thinking it might be Plusnet, like a few others have guessed, because I’m about to switch providers anyway.Plusnet8 monthsI didn't pick up, but like others have said, I'm thinking it's probably Plusnet. I’m actually switching from them soon. This is the second time I've had a call, about a week apart.Plusnet8 monthsLike a few others have mentioned, I’m moving away from Plusnet and they didn’t leave any voicemail. I’m just assuming it might have been them since this is the second time they’ve called.Plusnet8 monthsI got a couple of missed calls too, same as what others mentioned. I’m actually switching from Plusnet soon, so maybe it was them trying to reach me?Plusnet8 monthsI think this number belongs to Plusnet's call centre because I recently got in touch with them through their website and they rang me back. But honestly, the background noise was so loud I couldn’t really understand what they were saying.Plusnet9 monthsFor some reason, this number keeps ringing me just on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I don’t pick up unknown calls, so no messages left either, which is a bit frustrating. I’m guessing it’s probably just Plusnet trying to contact me since my contract’s nearly up.Plusnet10 monthsI'm about to finish my 24 month contract with EE for my broadband and have decided to switch to a cheaper deal elsewhere. After letting them know, I started getting calls from unknown numbers. One call in particular had that busy call centre noise, with someone breathing heavily into the handset. The voicemail lasted around 20 seconds but there was nothing said. Of course, I checked this site to see if I recognised the number... and yep, it was another broadband sales call. So I just deleted the voicemail and put the number on my block list.EE11 monthsI told PlusNet not long ago that I’m switching to a different internet provider, so I guess it makes sense that they might be calling me. But you would think a proper company would at least leave a voicemail, right? This caller left me hanging with no message at all.PlusNet11 monthsThey keep ringing up non stop to push broadband deals. It's getting really annoying.11 monthsIf it’s Plusnet, they really should be dropping a voicemail, especially since we’re trying to switch providers. It’s crazy that they can’t even bother leaving a message for their own customers!Plusnet12 monthsSince I’m planning to switch from Plusnet, I’m guessing this call was from them. The caller didn’t say anything and just left no voicemail, so no idea what it was about.Plusnet12 monthsI ended the call as soon as the voicemail started playing. I’m actually cancelling my Plusnet service right now, so I’m guessing this call was related to that.Plusnet1 yearFrom what I've read in other posts, I'm guessing that call was from Plusnet since I'm currently trying to move to a different provider. I was tied up on a work call so couldn't pick up, and it's a bit annoying that they didn't bother to leave a voicemail.Plusnet1 yearSo this number keeps popping up and everyone says it’s from Plusnet. I picked up once, sounded like a call centre but then they just hung up on me. Seriously, Plusnet, if this is how you’re dealing with people no wonder you’re losing customers!Plusnet1 yearAlready got calls two times today! I've switched from EE, so maybe that's why they’re calling, but it feels like just a tick-box exercise. If they truly cared about their customers, I wouldn’t have bothered leaving in the first place.EE1 yearI reckon it’s probably Plusnet ringing me. I just ended my contract with them not long ago, so I guess this is their way of trying to persuade me to keep my service. I chose not to pick up.Plusnet1 yearJust got a call from this number but they didn’t leave any voicemail or anything. I switched from EE home broadband to Hyperoptic yesterday, so like loads of others have said, I’m guessing it was EE trying to do some market research or maybe one last try to keep me as a customer.EE1 yearVirgin Broadband is the route I’m going with, so when Plus Net tried ringing me, I just let it go to voicemail. I’ve made up my mind, so no point in taking their call.Plus NetVirgin Broadband1 yearThe number showed up as EE on my caller ID, but I had a hunch it might be some spam or nuisance call, so I just ignored it. Different from what others are saying, I haven't recently made any calls or cancellations (actually just renewed with EE), so I'm not sure what that was about.EE1 yearGot a call from Plusnet asking the reason I decided to cancel. I just told them it wasn’t any of their concern.Plusnet1 yearLike some folks have said already, I decided not to stick with PlusNet and switched to a different broadband company. Since I made the change, I’ve been getting robotic calls from EE and also this number, which I’ve heard is linked to PlusNet. I’m just gonna block them both now.PlusNetEE1 yearGot calls from this number three times in just a fortnight, didn't pick up any of them tho. Reading through the other reviews, I reckon it might be linked to Plusnet. I've gone ahead and flagged the number as spam and blocked it now. Whether it's legit or not, they really shouldn't be ringing more than once, it's proper annoying.Plusnet1 yearI recently changed from Plusnet to Sky and got a call from them asking why I switched. I just said it was because of the price and that was pretty much it, no pushy sales talk or anything. The person calling was polite, so it felt fine, although a bit annoying since I used OFCOM's switch service to dodge exactly these chats :DPlusnetSkyOFCOM1 yearGot a missed ring from this number but we recently switched from Plusnet, so maybe it's them calling up?Plusnet1 yearGot a call from Plusnet asking why I wanted to cancel. Didn’t bother me, but seemed a bit unnecessary really.Plusnet1 yearAccording to EE’s own website, First Step is one of their marketing partners. I answered when they called the second time to ask them to stop contacting me, but I just got an automated message saying they’d tried before and will ring again later. It’s quite annoying. I think they’re calling because I recently signed up with Utilities Warehouse for just gas and electric, and even though I asked them to exclude me from marketing, they clearly ignored that and signed me up anyway. Now I’m wishing I hadn’t switched.First StepUtilities Warehouse1 yearI recently checked into switching my broadband and Plusnet was one of the options I was considering, so this call might be legit. I saw that this number has been flagged as coming from either Plusnet or EE, so it adds up.PlusnetEE1 yearI recently had a chat with someone from EE Group, which owns Plusnet, and they kept asking me why I was ending my broadband service with them. It was a bit frustrating since I’d already cancelled, but they seemed really keen on getting some feedback.PlusnetEE Group2 yearsGot a call from an unfamiliar number.Submit Your Own Report (01438 989246)
