01873736243 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01873736243 👆 is reported as an increasingly persistent nuisance caller linked to mobile phone upgrade sales, often claiming affiliation with well-known providers like EE, O2, or Carphone Warehouse. Numerous users report repeated daily calls, silent answers, or hang-ups when answered. Some have been misled into unwanted contracts or unwanted phones, while others describe aggressive sales tactics and difficulty cancelling agreements. Although a few acknowledge dealings with legitimate but overly pushy sales representatives, the majority warn of harassment, outdated customer data use, and poor customer service. Many advise blocking the number and caution against sharing personal or banking information. Registering with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) appears ineffective against calls from this source. Visitors are urged to remain vigilant, verify claims independently, and report any suspicious activity.

Someone said they were from O2 and told me I could get an upgrade. Bit of a dodgy one though - it was actually Carphone w###house just trying to pitch me a new phone. Ended up blocking them.

Got calls 4 times in last month or thereabouts. My phone’s with Carphone Warehouse atm, and they actually rang me just a few weeks back from the same number! I’ve put their number on block and definitely not gonna stick with Carphone Warehouse when it’s up for renewal.

Last week I looked up on the Carphone Warehouse site to see if I could upgrade my phone anytime soon. I was a bit scared they’d start hassling me, and then this morning I got a call from a number I didn’t know. Guess I was right to be a bit suspicious!
Carphone Warehouse

Totally a scam! They claimed to be from O2 and sent me three SIM cards plus an S8 phone. They gave me 14 days to think it over and said they’d ring back to check if I wanted the contract. Never got a single call from them. I kept trying to call to say I didn’t want it but no one answered. Eventually I got through to someone, but she was really rude and told me there’s no way they’ll cancel the contract - I have to keep the phone and the contract whether I like it or not.

Had a chat about upgrading with Carphone Warehouse but I haven't used them for 2 years. The info they had missed out on two different tariff switches I made since then. Seems obvious they've passed my latest details to this firm. They tried to confuse me into thinking I had multiple accounts or something. Looks like their trick is to make you believe they’re your actual provider and trick you into signing up with someone else.

A firm named "Upgrade my mobile" rang me. At first, the person claimed to be from O2, but then they switched to promoting EE's offers. When I asked, they quickly backtracked, saying "Oh, I didn't mean to say I was from O2." They were really insistent on making a sale. I kept saying I was fine with my current provider, but they just wouldn't take no for an answer until I finally said, "I'm not giving you my info, cheers for calling," and then they ended the call.

I recently signed up for a really affordable data plan with Sky, so when this number popped up, I assumed it might be an upgrade offer. But every time I answer, there's just silence on the other end.

After checking this site, I’ve figured out who’s behind it. I’m just gonna block and ignore it from now on.

Like they said - 'Time to upgrade your phone'. They are connected to EE but it's more of a loose link! I actually got a contract with them a few years back, but they totally messed things up so I ended the contract and returned the phone. Fair play to them for accepting the return, but it’s still spam really! Funny enough, I’m seeing EE adverts on this site too! lol.

These callers just keep on with the hassling. If they were actually working with EE, they should already know I updated my plan recently. And if they were any good, they’d have taken me off their list after I told them over a fortnight ago about the upgrade. If they genuinely weren’t scammers, they’d have stopped ringing me after I told them to never call me again. If they really are EE’s partners, this kind of pestering is definitely making me rethink who I choose for my next phone contract.

Saw my cousin snag a cracking offer on his Sky subscription, so I gave them a ring too. Ended up cancelling my own Sky account and switched it all over to my wife's name. Got a new package with a Sky Q box, Sky Sports, and Sky Movies, all for £40 a month. Bargain if you ask me!

They do work with EE to some extent since they seem to have access to some customer details (like others have said, maybe a bit iffy). Anyhow, I’m pretty sure they got me once, trying to push these budget deals from their selection that’s quite small and probably not what you’re after. They’re really good at squeezing you into one of their offers. They seem alright, just your typical sales call at the end of the day.

I'm pretty certain I've had to deal with these folks before. They seem to be connected with Orange/EE's mobile stores or offices, handling upgrade schedules for Orange/EE clients. They seem genuine and are probably just looking to help customers jump the line for upgrades and new contracts. It's okay to deal with them, but you have to stay firm and not let yourself be persuaded into an upgrade you don't really need. And no, I’m not promoting them by saying this.

I never pick up calls from numbers I don’t recognise. Just blocked this one straight away. If you do end up answering, maybe say your phone signal’s rubbish and ask if they could ring you on a different number. Then you could give them some random annoying number, or even a premium rate line for a laugh.

Got a call from 01873736243 on my mobile. They said I’m eligible for an updated phone and claimed they’d taken over Orange, but I no longer use Orange as my provider. We agreed to the upgrade, but then they asked for a direct debit and my bank details, which I didn’t give. They said they’d send me a text and email, but I’m still waiting. Not sure if it’s legit, so I’m planning to get in touch with Orange. They mentioned the new phone and contract would show up within two weeks.

This number keeps ringing me but always wants to talk to my husband. I’ve explained a few times that it’s not him, yet they try pushing a mobile upgrade on me, which feels quite dodgy.

I have to pick up most calls in case it’s the hospital or some other official service that doesn’t show their number.

Over the last few weeks, I've been getting calls at all sorts of times like 12:57 yesterday, 4:51 this afternoon, and even as early as 9:30 this morning. There were also calls on 14:23 and 13:25 back in late July, and a bunch more scattered around June too, like at 11:02 and 4:19. The odd thing is, I did once manage to chat to someone and told them I wasn't interested in any updates, and since then whenever I pick up, there's just silence on the other end. Quite frustrating really!

Seriously, watch out for this lot! They phoned me about upgrading my mobile, I told them I wasn’t interested at all. Yet somehow, they went ahead and did it behind my back. Now I’m stuck with a phone that won’t work because the new SIM got activated early - which was never meant to happen before I got the device. When I called them, they denied any responsibility even though EE had handed me their details. Honestly, steer clear of these people at all costs.

This number has been bothering me loads lately, I get about six calls a day for the last couple of months. Whenever I pick up, there’s just silence on the other end. I tried calling back once and found out it was some telemarketer pushing mobile contracts. Honestly, I’m not going to throw my money away ringing them again if they can't even speak to me when they make the call. Feels like a sneaky trick to make you call them back so you end up paying, not them. There really needs to be some action taken against these kinds of firms across all industries, not just with mobile providers.
