Phone number ☎️ 01618540696 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance known for frequent calls often involving silence or ambiguous background noise when answered. Callers claim to represent well-known companies like EE or phone preference services, attempting to offer mobile upgrades or contract deals, but these claims are frequently unverified and suspicious. Many users advise against sharing personal or banking details, as these calls are widely suspected to be scams aimed at obtaining confidential information or fraudulently setting up payments. Blocking or ignoring the number is commonly recommended, though some have found that answering and firmly requesting removal from the call list may reduce further contact. Travellers report additional inconvenience due to charges incurred when answering abroad. Overall, caution and vigilance are strongly advised.

8 yearsalways just silence when i pick up, really irritates me9 yearsI got a call from this number and the person said they were from telephone preference service. They told me they were a legit company and wanted to renew the subscription I supposedly had with them 5 or 6 years back, and they asked for my bank info.10 yearssomeone rang me pretending to be ee, saying i was entitled to a free upgrade even tho my contract ends in half a year. i phoned ee myself to check and they said they didn't have any record of the call or that number. safe advice: dont hand out any personal info.EE10 yearsgot loads of missed calls from this same number, eventually picked up and all i could hear was some office noise and music playing, but when i said ‘hello?’ over and over no one replied and then they just ended the call after about 8 seconds!10 yearsI had my phone set to silent while I was engrossed in some work, and now I’m curious to find out who attempted to reach me.10 yearsSome bloke named Josh called me, giving very little info but claiming he could get me a better deal on my next phone contract. Couldn't figure out which company he was with, but he hinted his offers were better than what EE provides. I didn’t give any more details and he said he’d call back. Definitely sounded dodgy. I’m pretty sure it’s a cold call scam. Wouldn’t recommend sharing any info with them. When I rang the number back, I got some unclear message about better phone contract deals. Too fishy for me to trust!Josh10 yearsThis number keeps ringing me non stop. Ive blocked it now.10 yearsAbsolutely, they won’t stop calling! The most sensible approach is to either give them a miss altogether or just block the number.10 yearskeeps ringing me with only music playing in the background, no one talks, annoying!10 yearsthis number has called me about 5 times now, i never pick up though. bit annoying if you ask me. maybe next time I'll answer and give them a piece of my mind.10 yearsI received a call from this number, but there was nothing but silence on the other end when I picked up. Does anyone have a clue about who it might be?10 yearsit's so annoying getting calls every day when im away abroad, seriously fed up.10 yearsClaimed to be from EE but no way, total scam.EE11 yearsI’ve been receiving calls from this number multiple times a day, pestering me to upgrade my EE mobile plan, even though they’re not affiliated with EE at all. I’ve made it clear I'm not interested, but it hasn’t deterred them in the slightest. It’s rather frustrating, especially since I frequently travel and end up incurring charges every time I pick up the phone. I’ve resorted to ignoring the calls now, but it’s undeniably bothersome, to say the least. - Caller: UnknownEECaller11 yearsthey keep callin but never leave a voicemail, i dont pick up numbers i dont reconise: even the ones i do half the time lol11 yearsThey keep ringing me and every time I pick up I just stay quiet, dont say a word. Wonder how long theyll keep trying to get a reaction from me with all those hellos! Missed calls from helloldivs or something.11 yearsI've gone ahead and blocked that number now.11 yearsthey ring me like 4 times daily, it's so irritating. i just dont pick up anymore11 yearsI received a call from this number, claiming it was time for me to upgrade my mobile phone. They presented a new offer that at first glance appeared quite appealing. Just as I was about to give the green light, a warning bell started ringing in my mind. I thought, hang on, isn't it a bit early for an upgrade? I told the caller I needed a bit of time to mull it over and he was perfectly agreeable, suggesting he’d ring me back at a later time. I decided to double-check with my mobile provider and discovered that, in reality, my upgrade wasn’t due for another six months! Strangely, the caller never followed up, and when I attempted to reach out to them directly, it was a complete dead end. Their automated system insists on taking your number to remove you from their list but doesn’t actually connect you to a real person-very frustrating! Naturally, I didn't give them my details. I’ll wait for them to reach out again and then I'm planning to ask some serious questions. Something tells me this is a dodgy operation trying to fish for bank information or coax people into setting up fraudulent payments. Best, TraceyTracey11 yearsIts a scam where they pretend to upgrade your phone but really want your bank info. Dont fall for it.11 yearsThey've rung me about 7 times over the past 4 days, so I finally picked up. No one spoke when I answered, fingers crossed they'll call back. I’ve noticed just letting them ring doesn’t make it stop, so now I actually answer and tell them to take me off their list. It might take a few tries, but it’s helped me so far.11 yearsppi refund firm hyc (help your claim) contacted me. they want 30% cut of whatever you manage to get back, just looking out for themselves really.HYCHelp Your Claim11 yearsCalled me yesterday and again today. They cut off as soon as I picked up.Submit Your Own Report (0161 854 0696)
