Reports on phone number 01438989258
2 monthsI got a call showing up on my phone as 'BT messaging service', but it only left some weird beep sounds. It showed as a blocked number too, which confuses me since I don’t remember blocking it before. If I did block it, I don’t understand why it still let the phone ring at all instead of just cutting it off! Odd one for sure.2 monthsThey keep ringing me about my dad who passed away ages ago!!! I’ve blocked the number now. If they’re connected with BT, it’s high time BT sorted this mess and got rid of them!!!BT2 monthsI got a call from a company called Stepchange Outsourcing, based in Stevenage, saying they were ringing for BT. They said they wanted to offer upgrades on BT services, so it looks like BT might be using this firm to boost their income. I don’t think it’s a scam, but it was pretty annoying all the same.Stepchange OutsourcingStevenageBT2 monthsIt's a bit tricky to track down, but this number is linked to a BT Partner working with account retention called Step Change Outsourcing (SCO). They can be a bit of a nuisance, but I dont think they pose any real threat. I did flag the number with Action Fraud, and they seemed to be on the same page as me.BT PartnerStep Change OutsourcingSCOAction Fraud2 monthsMy landline keeps ringing non-stop with these annoying office chatterers leaving messages. Even though I’m on the PTS phone system, these dreadful callers just won’t stop bothering me.3 monthsCalled by BT again, they kept going on about speaking to the account holder. Loads of noise in the background, just pure madness. Got fed up and ended the call. Total rubbish, just babbling nonsense. Felt like blowing a raspberry at them. Proper pestering wankers.BT3 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be BT, saying I could get a deal even though I’m mid-contract. They said it was a surprise offer and mentioned they’d ring me again tomorrow, the 22nd of April, 2026.BT3 monthsI didn't pick up the call at all. When I checked the number afterwards, it turned out to be some dodgy broadband scam.3 monthsThe call showed up as BT, but when I picked up, there was nothing but silence on the other end. Decided to block it since it felt like harassment.3 monthsI’ve had this number ring me quite a few times but I never pick up since I don’t know anyone or any company from Stevenage. When I looked it up here, it turned out it’s most likely a scam like I first guessed. It’s really annoying. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now.Stevenage3 monthsCan you believe it, they tried ringing me again today! Proper nutters, honestly. Every time I pick up, there’s just loads of noise like chatter in the back but not a single word from them. Sounds like they’re all off their heads or summat. Honestly, don’t pick up, that’s the smartest move for anyone normal out there.3 monthsSomeone said they were from BT. They got one account name right but then mentioned another name belonging to someone who passed away four years back.BT3 monthsI picked up the phone and there was no one there, but I could hear someone talking about faking something to their mates. Didn’t realise the line was open and caught bits of their chat with coworkers before the call just cut off. Next time I’ll be sure to help him score an interview with Coco the Clown at the circus - what a bunch of oddballs!Coco the Clown3 monthsI saw an unknown number calling but didn’t pick up. They never left a voicemail either. Glad I checked this site now, so I can just block or ignore next time.3 monthsSo this bloke called me up and was acting like he was a woman, but then he started talking about sausages. It was really weird.3 monthsGot a call on my phone, showed up as BT Stevenage. A young bloke with an English accent wanted to talk to whoever's on the account. I told him that person was really unwell. That seemed to throw him off a bit, then he said I should check my email about a broadband deal since my contract's supposedly finishing soon. But it actually doesn’t end till November. When I checked the number on my phone, it had a BT logo next to it.BT4 monthsDefinitely a con. I just ended the call immediately. They said they were from BT and told me my internet deal was finishing soon. But my contract actually goes until May. Also, I thought BT usually don’t ring from numbers like that - and they called my mobile, not my home phone. Seems dodgy to me.BT4 monthsI've had this number ring me a few times now. I found out it's linked to one of BT's four "trusted partners," something called StepChange (not the charity you might be thinking of). I never picked up, but I looked it up online and apparently they ring to pitch deals that might suit you - or maybe not! The voicemail they left mentioned you could possibly have your number taken off their contact list by ringing 0800 0282272.BTStepChange4 monthsPretended to be from British Telecom but totally fake.British Telecom4 monthsGot a call from someone saying they were with BT, but it was obviously a scammer trying to trick me.BT4 monthsI got a call from someone claiming to be from BT broadband, but they gave my mum's name instead of mine. Problem is, I don't even have BT at my place.BT4 monthsMy phone barely made a sound, I guess they were trying to get my phone info, which I handed over. They mentioned BT in the first few seconds - I get all my BT contacts through my account and email anyway, so this feels like either a scam or someone trying to sell me something.BT4 monthsIt showed up on my landline as BT but I missed it, so it ended up forwarding to my mobile with this number. Since I didn’t know who it was, I just ignored it. Now, seeing the reviews, I’m really glad I didn’t answer.4 monthsGot a call earlier today from someone saying my broadband and phone service were going to get disconnected soon. The caller was really pushy, insisting my contract was up for renewal even though I told them it wasn’t. They claimed they were with BT, but I didn’t believe it, so I hung up and rang BT myself. Turned out it definitely wasn’t them calling.BT4 monthsDidn't answer this number and I decided not to ring them back since I had no idea who they were.4 monthsA number popped up on my phone that I didn’t recognise so I just ignored it. They rang me like five times though but never bothered to leave a message or anything.5 monthsThey keep ringing us every day, but we just don't pick up.5 monthsI usually don't pick up if I don’t hear who’s calling. This number buzzed me twice, once yesterday and once today. Checked it out on Who Called Me and saw loads of bad reviews about it. Fingers crossed they’ll quit ringing me soon!5 monthsGot two calls missed from some dodgy scammers, probably preying on older folks.5 monthsThey were saying they're from BT but I reckon it's a scam, definitely not them.BT5 monthsI've blocked this number already, yet they still ring me every single day. It's so frustrating, especially when I'm tied up with other stuff. You'd think they'd take a hint by now!5 monthsI answered the call from 01438 989258 and they just dropped the line straight away.5 monthsEven after blocking the number, they just keep on calling me! So annoying!5 monthsNumber seemed unfamiliar so I looked it up on this site, saw what others said and decided to block it.5 monthsA bloke called Misha rang up, said he was from BT and mentioned my yearly bill was going up by £5. Claimed they already sent me a letter about it. When I asked for it to be sent again, he told me he couldn’t do that and then just ended the call.MishaBT5 monthsGot loads of calls from this number but whenever I pick up there's no one there. I've had to block it now.5 monthsYesterday, I got a call from someone pretending to be with BT. I wasn’t home at first and told them I was tied up, but they said it’d just be a quick chat. I agreed, but then they started talking about my broadband deal and trying to get me to renew it before prices rose. I told them again I couldn’t sort it out right now and then they ended the call. Later that night, I started feeling iffy about the whole thing. Then they rang me again today, but I didn’t answer. After seeing the reviews here, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.BT5 monthsThis woman claimed to be calling from BT, saying our broadband subscription hadn't been renewed yet, even though she had our name and account number. I told her everything was fine and up to date. She insisted they start sending reminders five months in advance. I told her she must be having a laugh and said she wasn’t really from BT. Right after, she just hung up straight away. Definitely a scam but weird how she had so much info.BT6 monthsI picked up a call from a number that showed as BT, but there was complete silence on the other end. It definitely gave off the vibe of a call centre. I've since blocked the number and flagged it as a scam.6 monthsI just said hello and they hung up straight away. Definitely seemed like one of those robocall centres.6 monthsI got a call from a lady saying she was with BT and offered to help me renew my BT contract. Thing is, my contract isn’t even close to needing a renewal yet.BT6 monthsI just let the phone ring and don't pick up since it keeps calling me nonstop.6 monthsI got a call from a bloke saying he was from BT Hertfordshire, trying to help with renewing my BT contract. Problem is, my contract isn’t up for renewal at all! Luckily, my husband answered and told him he wasn’t the person named on the account.BT HertfordshireBT6 monthsIt showed up as a BT call but turned out to be one of those fake BT scam numbers. Definitely not a legit BT number.BT6 monthsThey keep ringing me but end up just cutting the call. I have no clue who they are, really irritating though.6 monthsSome random number rang me and I just blocked it straight away. Could be one of those scams!!!6 monthsThey're BT scammers, totally annoying. I've started blocking their numbers straight away.6 monthsThis number keeps ringing my mobile but never leaves any message. Feels like a scam to me, totally unwelcome and not asked for. I've gone ahead and blocked it.7 monthsGot a few calls from a number I didn’t recognise. Didn’t answer after I checked online and read some reviews. My contract with BT is about to expire, and I’m seriously considering switching because I’m fed up with all these scam calls.BT7 monthsI got a text on my phone saying they wanted to help me renew my contract, which is up in a month or two. It looked genuine from what I could see, but I was a bit busy and didn’t want to risk it being a scam. So, I just told them nicely that I wasn’t interested in continuing the call. When you’re unsure, better safe than sorry!7 monthsThis number rang me about my internet coming to an end. I checked it out and it's actually genuine. They phoned on Monday offering a cheaper broadband renewal, which I considered, but after checking, my current provider still had a better deal so I told them I wouldn’t be switching. Later, I got a bit suspicious, wondering if it was some scam I almost fell for, so I googled BT contact numbers. Found a page with their partners who might call, and this number was listed. Here’s the link: https://www[.]bt[.]com/partners7 monthsEven though I've blocked this number, it keeps ringing me non-stop. Feels like harassment to me. Seems like one of those scam calls, so better steer clear.7 monthsOver the past few days, I've had two calls like this. The first one was just a quick ring and then dropped, but the second time, the person claimed to be from BT and sounded like they were speaking from some call centre. I just ended the call straight away. I get loads of junk calls anyway, and since my contract finishes early next year, and reading some other comments, maybe it really is BT. But honestly, how can you be sure it’s not some kind of scam?BT7 monthsCalls come through with the noise of a call centre in the background, then they hang up straight away. Given what’s happened before, I reckon they’re just trying to gather numbers.7 monthsThey claimed to be from some contracts company or something. Total scam, I just hung up straight away. It was a landline number as well.7 monthsSo I got a ring from 01438 989258 earlier today. When I looked it up on BT's site, it showed this number belongs to one of the official companies BT works with for contract retention stuff. Even so, it felt a bit dodgy to me.BT7 monthsI've had two calls over the past couple of days on my mobile, both showing BT on the caller ID (and I do have BT myself). Neither time did they leave a voicemail. Given what others have said here, I'm just going to let these ring out and not answer.BT7 monthsGot called again by some Indian bloke pretending to be from BT, this is the second time in less than a week. I’m over it, so I just blocked the number.BT7 monthsSomeone said they were from BT and messaged me telling me to repeat what was in the text. I wouldn't repeat it, so they just ended the call.BT7 monthsGot a call from this number earlier today around 10:31 but I wasn’t home to answer it. When I looked up the number later, saw what folks were saying here and decided to block it for good.7 monthsGot a call about moving to digital voice, mentioned my contract needs renewing. They said a specialist will ring on the 22nd of December to check my gear. I haven’t shared any bank details or anything. They’re gonna send the documents over email.7 monthsTwice now this number has rung me, but I never picked up, and both occasions they just hung up without saying a thing.7 monthsAt 09.47 on 11th December 2025, I had a call from 01438989258 on my mobile. I just ignored it and didn't answer.7 monthsHeard this is a risky scam number. When I answered, all I got was some absolute nonsense that made no sense at all. Best steer clear of it.7 monthsGot a call on my phone from someone claiming to be BT about my internet, asking for my security info. I told them to just email me the details instead, and then they just ended the call. Total scam!BT7 monthsI just hung up, I really can't handle voice calls.7 monthsLoads of people saying its a scam, so I just blocked the number.7 monthsI kept getting calls from someone claiming to be from my phone company. They spoke with a weird foreign accent and tried loads to get my security details. It was clear they were up to no good, using dodgy language and calling me again and again. Definitely a scam.7 monthsI got a call from 01438989258, no idea who it was. As soon as I picked up, they just ended the call straight away. I’ve blocked that number now.

A lady with an Asian accent started chatting about my house, and I quickly put the phone down.8 monthsMy phone showed a proper BT logo, so I picked up. A guy said, "Hello, this is BT, your mobile provider." I cut him off straight away, telling him "You’re not my mobile provider," then ended the call. I’m pretty sure BT isn’t even my provider.BT8 monthsFrequent calls recently - no message left. Blocking is a good idea probably8 monthsGot a call showing BT on my phone, they tried to chat about switching my contract. I asked them to just drop an email instead. They already had my name and even gave me a 4-digit code to confirm who I was. Didn’t know when my contract ends so told them I had to look into it. Since I’m a BT customer, seeing their logo when this number rings me is kinda worrying. Feels like a total scam to me.BT8 monthsGot a call on a second phone number I hardly ever use, but there was no sound at all. Didn’t pick up since I didn’t hear anything ringing. Definitely felt fishy to me.8 monthsGot a call on my home phone from this number. I checked with '1471' and it showed up.

Given what I’ve read here before, I decided to block the number straight away.8 monthsThey claimed to be from BT, but honestly, I’m not sure if that’s legit. I told them I’d find their official number online and call them back to be sure.BT8 monthsThe call showed up as BT but there was no actual number displayed. I didn’t pick up, and it went straight to voicemail, but no one left a message. After about 19 seconds, they just dropped the call.

I’ve blocked the number now and would honestly suggest others to do the same.Stevenage8 monthsGot a annoying call at about 4.32pm on the 30th of October, 2025.8 monthsThis is definitely a dodgy energy saving scam going around.

I’ve got a setting on my phone that makes them say why they’re calling before it actually rings, so it’s never really rang for me. None of the times have they left any voicemail either.
