01916719986 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01916719986 👆 is reported as a persistent and often unwelcome telesales number linked to BT, operated by an outsourced partner company based in Seaham. Callers frequently claim to represent BT, offering broadband, TV, and mobile upgrades or checking service satisfaction, but many recipients find the approach aggressive, misleading or pushy. While some confirm it as a genuine BT-approved sales operation, others suspect scams due to vague or inconsistent caller behaviour, lack of caller identification, and no messages left on answerphones. Complaints include repeated calls despite refusals, pressure tactics, and concerns about data privacy. Best practice advises caution with such unsolicited calls, avoiding sharing personal details, using BT’s official contact channels, and utilising call-blocking features or caller preference settings to minimise disturbances.

I got called and told it was from Scottish Power, saying I had just 30 minutes to ring them back or my gas and electric would be switched to Utility Warehouse. Felt like a dodgy tactic, way too rushed. Then, a couple of days later, a letter turned up with new supplier info that I never asked for. Seemed a bit off to me.

i got a call from someone claiming to be from bt telesales but they said they were outsourced from seaham. the caller said they were a sales partner and gave me an address, phone number and email. i looked it up on the main bt website on 24/12 and all info matched there. if you really want to contact bt just call their freephone 0800 169 6199 directly, that way you know its legit and safer.

Got a call from someone named Josh saying he was from BT. After chatting a while, realised he was actually from a call centre in Seaham, Co. Durham, which handles BT stuff like contract upgrades. So it’s not BT directly, but they work for them basically.

You can easily block 1572 or just ignore the call! Check out the posts from 13/09 first before moaning, they explain how to get off these marketing lists. If you still not happy, there are official BT sales lines like 0800 169 2962 you can call. Please stop leaving complaints here, it’s not helping.

They rang our home phone a couple of times today, saying they were from BT about broadband. Not sure if the BT bit was legit, but they kept pushing this BT Halo thing. They said they could give better deals, but wouldn’t share any info except over the phone. That made me quite wary, especially since in the background I could hear what sounded like a call centre, with clapping whenever someone made a sale! I told them I don’t deal with calls out of the blue like that. To me, it feels like a bit of a scam.

I've received a few calls from this number claiming to be from BT. They do sound quite convincing, but I can't shake off the feeling that they're not being entirely truthful!

01916719986 might be a legit number and most people get that you need to make a living. But what really annoys folks is that your call centre never leaves a message when it goes to voicemail. That’s just rude, no other way to put it. So yeah, you’ll get blocked. Just be courteous and drop a message next time.

the info here is wrong. its not a scam, just telesales from a bt site in seaham offerin bt tv, broadband and mobile deals. just block 1572 or hang up, simple as! you can also use the steps shared on 13/09 to take yourself off 6 bt outsourced telesales lists. if you dont do that, the calls will keep on coming. ofcom aint gonna help unless you follow the advice given earlier.

Been getting calls from this number loads over the past week. Don't know who they are, never left a voicemail either. No matter how many times folks post the same badly copied and pasted message saying it’s a legit BT sales team trying to improve this number’s rating, these calls feel like harassment to me. The fact that someone’s actually trying to boost this number’s rating makes me think it’s pretty dodgy. I’d say just ignore it. If you want to buy anything from BT, ring BT themselves - much safer than handing your details over to some random cold caller.

If you want to stop the calls from the 6 BT UK telesales companies, you need to contact BT directly. You can call them on 08000282272 or email them at [#]bt[###]/contactus. Otherwise, they’ll keep ringing non stop. Make sure you have your call preferences ready and change them to "NO CALLS" with BT flag. This should put an end to calls from RESQ in Seaham and the other 5 outsourced BT telesales firms. You can find a list of all 6 BT authorised telesales sites at [#]BT[###]/PARTNERS. These are all third party companies that BT has approved for telemarketing.

I did answer once, a few months ago, and they were asking what I used my broadband for and what I did with my computer. I told them straight I didn’t know who they were, so I wasn’t giving out any info, and asked them not to call again. But they’re still at it. Maybe they’re an outsourced firm working for BT, but why keep bothering me and others when a) it’s pointless, b) it makes BT look bad, and c) they must realise how much they’re annoying us all?

I picked up thinking it was someone I knew because the number seemed familiar. They called me by my name, but I ended the call soon after since the voice didn’t sound right.

Got a call on our home phone on 10th Sept. The person said they were from BT, updating about broadband. I reckon it’s a scam. If it really was BT, then they’re clearly stooping to new lows, using tricks and lies.

I really shouldn't have to block these calls. If I want anything, I'll reach out to you, not the other way around. Unlike Brexit, for me, NO actually means NO. When it’s not some UK call centre pestering me, it’s always some bloke called Nigel, Robert, or Steven - take your pick - calling from India. Seems like there arent many jobs on the railways or in Bollywood these days, if so many folks end up in call centres. Seriously, where’s their dignity?

This number rang me saying they were from BT, but I told them to ring back later. I logged into my BT account and chatted with someone who said it was a scam and definitely not BT.

Loads of bogus info here. Have a look at what I found on 23/08 about BT Telesales - they’ve put their name and address out there loads of times. Just check [#]bt[###]/partners for all the official details. Or just block 1572, it’s easy to do!

The caller claimed to be from BT and appeared quite credible, as he had plenty of information regarding my BT agreement. However, the line went silent as soon as I shared my address. I'm curious-how could someone get hold of my contract information from BT? Are these unsolicited calls just a bit annoying, or is there something dodgy going on?

Somebody called me claiming to be from BT. After looking at others' comments here, it seems they're probably not legit. They mentioned a free upgrade, but when I asked if I'd end up paying more after a while, they admitted I would, which honestly sounds dodgy. Basically, some third-party pretending to be BT trying to get me to sign up for a "free" upgrade that will cost extra later on. It's pretty misleading and annoying, if you ask me.

Got a call from this number. They acted like they were from BT, but clearly they weren’t. When I asked if they worked for BT, they tried to sidestep the question and kept pretending they were from BT, which seemed quite sneaky to me. If they really had BT’s blessing, they’d say so straight away, but instead they dodged the question when I wanted a proper answer.

My elderly parents have been getting constant calls from these people. At one point, they threatened to cut off their BT service unless they paid an overdue bill of £150. Problem is, my parents don’t even use BT - their internet and phone are with a different provider.

Got a call from BT claiming we’re important customers and wanted to offer us some rewards. They started chatting about broadband, then shifted to our mobiles. Even after telling them three times we’re happy with our mobile provider, they kept pushing these “amazing deals.” Then they moved on to landline calls. In the end, it would’ve cost us more. Honestly, just avoid this call - it's so frustrating and annoying when they ignore what you’re actually saying.

BT sales people keep ringing. My broadband with BT is pretty poor cause it’s just a copper wire going into my place yet they keep pushing me to get their “super fast” internet. That’s impossible with copper lines, it just won’t work.

Yep, it’s just BT Telesales, they use an outside firm to push BT TV, broadband and mobile deals. Their office in Seaham has been mentioned loads of times, check the 29/06 notes. Blocking this number should stop the calls. There’s like six telesales offices all over the UK, all recorded here as [#]BT[###]/PARTNERS.

At five o'clock this afternoon, I received a phone call from a gentleman who identified himself as Mark from BT. Not wanting to entertain the conversation, I promptly informed him that I wasn't interested. He then insisted he had some crucial information and special offers for my home. I countered his pitch by mentioning that BT had already hiked my monthly bill by a staggering £4, so I wasn't in the mood for any sales spiel. To my astonishment, he cheekily suggested he could increase my bill even further if I was keen! That pretty much wrapped up our chat.

Just so you know, BT Telesales people only make outbound calls trying to sell stuff like BT TV, Broadband and mobile plans. If you want to stop these cold calls, you can block the number or text 'STOP' to 1572. I saw this info posted on 29/06 somewhere down below.

They claimed to be BT, but actually they're just a sales outfit licensed by BT. Not the same at all! All they want is to push their products on you. When I mentioned a minor issue, they just told me to ring BT directly!

In the past 48 hours, my phone has rung off the hook with four missed calls, but the callers never bother to leave a message. It's quite peculiar, as it feels like they’re trying to catch me off guard, hanging up the instant the answering machine kicks in. Even if I manage to pick up in time to greet them, it’s as if they’ve lost interest. I can't shake the feeling that they might be hoping I’ll incur some sort of charge! Very odd indeed.

ResQ Spectrum 3 Spectrum Business Park Seaham SR7 7TT Phone: 0333 443 2822 resqcs[###] They often ring from: 0191 671 9986 This number belongs to BT Telesales, based in Seaham. It's a company BT has hired to handle selling their TV, broadband, and mobile packages.

The person sounded alright, or so I thought, but I was in the middle of something and asked if we could do the call later. When I suggested the weekend, the bloke on the other end got totally confused and just said "ok, bye"... bit strange really, you'd expect them to ask when would suit me instead.

Got a call from BT telesales, they said they’re partners appointed by BT to offer broadband, TV, and mobile plans. The address they mentioned was in Seaham, and I’ve seen it pop up several times before. This was on the 1st of April.

Got two calls from this number earlier today but both times they didn't bother leaving any voicemail on my caller ID. A quick look online suggests it's connected to BT, which makes sense since we've been getting loads of emails and letters from them recently pushing some 'complete WiFi' plan that costs more each month. I'm assuming these calls are part of that. I'll ring BT myself when I'm ready to make any changes - I really can’t stand pushy sales calls and won't ever buy anything from someone ringing out of the blue.
