Phone number ☎️ 01563852491 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number associated with cold calls from a company claiming to offer cheaper billing or energy savings, often using callers with heavy Asian accents. Many recipients, including those registered with the Telephone Preference Service and ex-directory numbers, experience repeated calls with silent or unresponsive behaviour, or aggressive tactics demanding information about utility bills. The callers frequently hang up abruptly if challenged or refused information. Callers often insist on speaking to the person responsible for utility payments, but provide little credible information about themselves.

Blocking the number or ignoring calls is a common user strategy.

I keep receiving calls from this number, and the individual on the other end has an Asian accent. They seem quite determined to persuade me to sign up for some cheaper BT billing options. It's rather relentless, as they've already rung me three times!

Got two calls from this number on the 30th, both times no one said a word. This makes the second time this week they've bothered me. I'm ex-directory and on the TPS, so why do these annoying calls still keep showing up? Had to set my answering machine to pick up after three rings, and they just hang up as soon as the message kicks in. Seriously, who are these daft idiots and how on earth did they get hold of my number?

Got a call round 3.14pm, some bloke kept saying “hello, hello, hello” over and over. Seemed Indian? But said he was from Kilmarnock? Bit strange.

Ever since we switched to Virgin, these annoying calls have been happening nonstop. It’s driving me mad! No doubt, I’m definitely planning to swap to a different provider asap.

Received a rather peculiar phone call today from someone at Switch, attempting to discuss lowering my phone call volume! I politely informed them that we're registered with the Telephone Preference Service and that they really ought to refrain from contacting us. After expressing my gratitude, I promptly ended the conversation!

Got a call earlier asking to talk to whoever deals with paying the electricity and gas bills. The woman on the line spoke with quite a strong Indian accent, which made it tough to catch what she was saying. After struggling to understand, I just ended the call.

I received a call that was oddly quiet - I didn't utter a single word upon picking up, and neither did the caller. There was a rather raucous tune blaring in the background, which seemed to captivate the other party. They lingered on the line for a good minute, presumably indulging in the music, before they eventually decided to hang up without a peep. I figured I wouldn't break the silence first, and curiously, they didn't take the opportunity either.

Today, on the 30th of June 2016 at precisely 11:10, I received a call from someone identifying themselves as 'Sam.' The caller had a discernible Indian accent and proceeded to inquire about my phone bill. Feeling rather uneasy, I decided to terminate the conversation. I can’t help but wonder how this person managed to uncover my actual name. Quite peculiar, considering it’s a number from Kilmarnock!

When I picked up the phone, I didn’t say a word, but the caller just stayed on the line for ages. It honestly felt like they were just listening to the music I had on in the background. Eventually, after nearly a minute, they finally hung up. Real weird silent call!

Make sure to notify the Telephone Preference Service; the greater the number of complaints they receive, the higher the chances are of them imposing fines on these callers.

I keep getting calls from loads of different company names, all dodgy. So I’ve got this big noisy whistle by my phone now. Every time one of those calls comes through, I just blow the whistle right into the receiver and honestly, it’s working pretty well!

We're listed as ex-directory and have been signed up with the Telephone Preference Service for ages now, yet we still receive a barrage of nuisance calls. Do you reckon it might be worthwhile to seek legal counsel over this breach of our privacy?

We live quite a sheltered life and find it challenging to get about, especially when ill with a cold. The phone tends to ring without anyone on the other end, or the connection is terrible, often filled with a cacophony of background noise.

I’m on the Telephone Preference Service list, yet it seems these individuals completely disregard it.
