6 yearsMy father-in-law found this number popping up on his bill multiple times overnight - and he’s been getting charged for it! Really weird.7 yearsBeen helping my old aunt with this weird issue on her BT bill. A strange number keeps popping up, ringing her line loads of times in a row, even at all hours like in the middle of night. What’s worse, sometimes it shows up on the bill, other times nothing at all. If it’s anything to do with Careline like some folks say, then it’s a proper disgrace that the worst off end up paying for this through the biggest phone company.Careline8 yearsI'm not sure how they managed to make the careline call look like it came from us, especially since it's just a careline test number. It's pretty confusing.8 yearsMy mum accidentally pressed her emergency alarm pendant once, and we ended up getting charged for the call, which was pretty annoying.Mum8 yearsI got billed for a call from this number even tho I never rang them, like loads of others. When I rang the helpline, they said it’s the company that runs the alarm system. Sooooooo, what’s the story here??8 yearsHad no issues with the Careline 365 number, works perfectly fine.Careline8 yearsHad a look at an older lady’s phone bill and found 23 calls on it. Five were free but the other 18 cost £4.87 all up. Most of the calls came really late at night or early morning when she’d be fast asleep.8 yearsjust an update: i tried digging into this number cause there was nothing here on it, found a few posts dating back to 2017 which said it might be a pendant alarm company checking their system. me and my mum both use these pendants and we call them sometimes to make sure everything’s working okay, but honestly ive never noticed this number on any of our phone statements. i’m gonna ring careline to double check if thats true. maybe this helps someone out.Careline8 yearsI've noticed the same on my mum's phone bill - twice actually, once on 27th June and again on 27th July, both around half past six in the morning and only lasting 17 seconds. She's 92, there's no chance she’d be ringing a London number, especially so early. It's really odd. I'm definitely going to get in touch with BT about it because she's also been charged for the speaking clock service, something she neither recognises nor ever uses.LondonBT8 yearsMy 92 year old mum’s phone bill shows this twice as well - once on 27th July and again on 27th June, both right around 6:30 in the morning and only lasting 17 seconds each time. There’s no way she’d be ringing a London number, especially that early. It’s really odd. I’m going to get in touch with BT about it because she’s also been charged for calling the speaking clock, which she’s never even dialled or needed to.LondonBT8 yearsMy 89 year old mum, who usually sleeps right through the night, got a call from this number in the wee hours. Sounds a bit dodgy, like some sort of scam to me. I’m kind of thinking it might be linked to the new alarm system we just had installed for her. Be careful if you get a call from this number!!!8 yearsthis number appeared on my mother-in-law’s phone bill, but she’s quite old and doesn’t really know how to make calls like that. i can’t figure out how her phone ended up calling this number at all.9 yearsMy mum is 81 and has a telecare service, but somehow she's been billed for calls to this number, even though she never dialled it! While she was sorting this out, her phone got disconnected, even though she always pays the rest of her bills on time. It's terrible that vulnerable people can have their essential phone services cut like that. BT really need to look into this properly.BT9 yearsSo, this number belongs to one of those personal alarm services. Every time we did a test call with the alarm company, this number popped up on my BT phone bill. It appears roughly every month when the company runs their line checks. Has anyone bothered to ring this number first instead of just blaming BT for random calls???BT9 yearsSo, I noticed a strange number on my phone bill and had no idea what it was for at first. Later I figured out it’s connected to those lifeline pendants - apparently when the button is pressed, it calls that particular number. Quite confusing till I looked into it!9 yearsSo I finally figured it out! The number belongs to my mum’s alarm pendant. BT said it was linked to some building firm, which confused me. If they had said it was a medical alert service, I’d have put two and two together straight away! I was told at first that it was free, but clearly you get charged when you actually use it or try a test call. Hope this clears things up for anyone else. Bit shocked BT didn’t have this info handy to explain it properly!BT9 yearsMy mum, who’s 95 and partially sighted with memory problems, uses a phone designed for her with just pictures of family to call. Somehow, there are 11 missed calls from this London number 02085227617. There’s no chance she’s called it herself. I contacted BT but they couldn’t help at all. This has got to be a scam, and I’m determined to get them to admit it. It’s shocking someone can get away with this, especially when my mum doesn’t need the hassle at her age. We have no idea how this is happening. At her age and with her sight problems, it’s BT’s job to fix this, not ours! We shouldn’t have to waste our time chasing after this fraud!LondonBT10 yearsThis number is a complete con. Just answering it costs you 47p! BT's callminder doesn't block it at all, the calls slip right through. When I told BT, they didn't seem bothered one bit.BT10 yearsThis number has shown up loads of times on my mum's BT phone statement, but she 100% hasn't been the one making any of those calls.BT10 yearsEvery month I spot a few calls from this number on my phone bill, but I never actually dial it myself. Definitely strange!10 yearsGetting loads of random calls lately. BT totally messing me around!BT10 yearsUsing this number will definitely set you back financially! It appears to be a sort of reverse charged call, which can catch you off guard.10 yearsThis number shows up on my bill each month. I contacted BT and they just brushed me off, saying it must be me making the calls, but that's not true at all.BT11 yearsIt tends to occur around four in the morning, and I wonder if it ends up being billed to you.12 yearsI keep getting phone calls at the crack of dawn, around 4 and 5 in the morning. The moment I pick up, I’m greeted by some bizarre beeping noise that just doesn’t make sense. What’s going on?Submit Your Own Report (020 8522 7617)
