01482293811 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01482293811 👆 is reported as a persistent caller mostly linked to British Gas retention efforts after customers switch to other energy suppliers. Many users report receiving repeated calls and texts offering better deals to stay, often with no message left and calls sometimes hanging up when answered. The number is associated with Hull and occasionally shows up disguised as NHS or other names, causing confusion and suspicion of scams. While many confirm it as a legitimate British Gas contractor trying to retain customers, others warn of potential phishing or scam tactics due to aggressive calling and lack of clear communication. The calls often coincide immediately after energy supplier switches, and experiences range from polite offers to questionable calls with silence or abrupt hang-ups.

I just changed over from British Gas a few hours back. This number rang me but they ended the call straight away. When I tried calling it back, the line dropped on me. Cheers to everyone who’s already reported this number.

I didn't pick up since I was driving at the time. Judging by other reviews, it looks like BritishGas might have changed over to O tops. I've gotten calls, texts and emails from them too.

I switched to Octopus yesterday, but then British Gas called me today with a much better deal to stay with them. Their offer was way better than what they show online, so I reckon it’s worth picking up if they ring you and seeing what they can do.

This number keeps ringing me but whoever's calling never sticks around to talk, maybe it's some kind of BG thing or something.

Had a call not long ago that reminded me of what others have said here. I’d just moved away from British Gas and they asked me to confirm my name and if I was actually switching suppliers. Just as I was about to explain why I was changing, the line went dead. Makes me wonder if the call was legit at all.

I recently changed my energy provider from British Gas. They’ve rung me a couple of times. Missed the first call, but when I picked up on the second, they just hung up straight away. I kinda feel for the poor folks on the other end, knowing that people like me have found better deals elsewhere, but their job’s to try and keep us with them.

Got a call from British Gas. It was genuine, not a scam or anything. They were repeatedly trying to get in touch to sort out a proper account question.

I've switched my energy supplier recently, and this number has called me four times now. Every time I pick up, there's just silence on the other end, no one speaks. It's a bit odd.

The person on the other end just hung up without saying a word. Pretty annoying!

Got a call from this number but didn’t pick up. Decided to check it out here and put in a report. Definitely blocking it now.

Right after I switched my energy provider, I got a call on my mobile. They left a voicemail apologising that I was leaving their service.

Loads of folks reckon it's British Gas ringing up to stop you from changing supplier, which makes sense as I just put in a switch request and got this call pretty quickly. But what threw me was they didn't say a word - I picked up and they just cut me off straight away. It’s a bit odd because that sort of behaviour is usually a scammer's move, just checking if the number works. Still, apparently, it’s actually British Gas doing this, which I find quite weird.

Twice today, about 4 hours apart, I got calls on my landline from 01482293811. Each time I picked up, there was silence before they hung up. We just switched away from British Gas earlier today, and now suddenly these annoying calls start. I left them for a reason and this just feels like harassment.

Just after I switched energy providers, I got a call from that same number. Seems like they might be trying to win back customers or something like that. Others have mentioned similar experiences too.

Got a call from British Gas the other day, trying all sorts to get me to stick with them even though I recently switched to another energy supplier. Such a persistent lot!

Called from British Gas, sounded polite and not too insistent, just wanted to see if I'd think about switching again. As soon as I told them no thanks, they ended the call straight away. Bet it's a tough gig for them.

Got a few calls in one afternoon from this number, which apparently is based in Hull. From what I’ve read in other reviews, it’s probably British Gas since I’d just switched my energy supply away from them. They didn’t leave any voicemail or anything. Bit frustrating how they’re so eager to call you, considering how tricky it is to actually get through to them when you need to!

Yesterday I changed my energy provider after being with British Gas for a while. Got a call from a number that matched what others have said is their retention team trying to chat. I didn't pick up, it went straight to voicemail but they didn't leave any message, which was a bit odd.

Got a missed call from a number I didn’t recognise, no voicemail left. After scrolling through some recent reports, I’m pretty certain it was British Gas. Seems like they only make a fuss when you switch away from them to another supplier. Honestly, they’re such a nightmare to handle.

This number has called me twice, but no voicemail was left either time. After checking online, loads of others say it’s British Gas. That makes sense because I recently put in a switch away from them. They’re probably ringing to try and stop customers from leaving. If they don’t bother leaving a message, I’m not going to bother picking up or calling back!

Looks like BG really don’t like losing customers. I just changed suppliers this morning after getting that email about price increases, and already I’ve had two emails, a text, and a call from this number apologising about me leaving. If they wanted to keep me, maybe they should have kept their prices reasonable or given some loyalty discounts instead of hiking them every year. Feels like another old giant fading away now!

It popped up saying "Medical" on my phone, but I reckon that's just the Android system labelling it, not who was actually calling. I rang them back and it turned out to be British Gas. Since I recently changed suppliers, they were ringing to pitch a better deal. Their offer is way better than the one I was moving to, so I’m switching back. Definitely worth picking up or calling back.

From what I did in the last hour, it seems like that dropped call was from British Gas's so-called “value team” aiming to keep clients. But ringing me only to have the line go dead is really poor etiquette. I’m going to block that number and send them a complaint email.

Received a dodgy call pretending to be from British Gas. They seemed to be testing if our landline was active. When I answered, they hung up straight away. This number’s been ringing quite a bit, but we’ve only dealt with British Gas through emails. Not sure what these scammers are after but it’s pretty annoying and feels like harassment. Someone should really let British Gas know people are using their name to pull this kind of trick.

I was in the middle of switching energy providers when British Gas called me up trying to convince me to remain with them. After a bit of back and forth, I managed to get them to credit my account the amount they were overcharging compared to the cheapest supplier’s annual rate. So, I figured I’d stick around and take advantage of their half-price Sundays deal instead.

I got three calls from this number all in one day. When I phoned back, turns out it was British Gas. I’m switching to a different supplier, so I thought I’d check if I needed to pay anything or sort anything out. Actually, it was just their retention team asking basic stuff like who I’m moving to and if I’d got a proper quote from them. Honestly, don’t waste your time with them if you’ve already done your homework and know their prices won’t beat the new deal you have.

Just got a call from British Gas, clearly trying to cling on to customers I reckon, cos I just told them where to shove it. They’re a complete mess, I wouldn’t trust them to pop out for a loaf on their own, never mind manage my energy. If they ring you, best to ignore it - total waste of time.

Today I got a call from this number and when I checked, it was British Gas. I’ve only been with them for about seven weeks, but they’ve already been dishonest a bunch of times. They kept telling me I had to be on quarterly payments and couldn’t just top up and pay, which was ridiculous. The final straw was when they moved me from their old system to the new one, but the new system won’t even let you top up and pay anymore. So yeah, I’m heading back to my old energy supplier now. Honestly, it only took them seven weeks to completely stress me out.

I just received a text from someone named "BGR" on my phone, but there was no actual phone number shown. The message said, "sorry to hear you’re leaving British Gas... if you want, ring 01482293811." Sounds dodgy to me because earlier British Gas messaged me too, but they gave a different number to call - 03332029885 - not this one. Definitely a scam in my opinion. I’ve blocked the sender and reported it.
