My father-in-law found this number popping up on his bill multiple times overnight - and he’s been getting charged for it! Really weird.

I've been on a bit of a mission uncovering the source of this pesky issue for my dear old aunt. It appears she’s been hit with charges on her BT phone bill from a number that keeps popping up, ringing her 5 or 6 times in a row at rather absurd hours, both day and night. Some days she finds these calls racking up charges; on others, nothing seems to appear. It’s utterly disgraceful that the most at-risk among us are being burdened with costs from such a large provider, especially if this is indeed linked to Careline, as some others have speculated.

I'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.

It’s that pesky emergency pendant - if Mum happens to hit it, even inadvertently, they slap a fee on the call.

I’ve received charges for a call from this number, even though, like everyone else, I never dialled it. The customer service team informed me that this is the firm responsible for managing the alarm system. So, what on earth is going on here?

Had no issues with the Careline 365 number, works perfectly fine.

I’ve just gone over the phone bill of an older lady, and it looks rather peculiar. There were 23 calls in total, with 5 of those being free, and 18 ringing in at a cost of £4.87. Most of them seem to have happened during the late hours or in the wee small hours of the morning while she was fast asleep.

just 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.

I'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.

My 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.

I've been receiving calls from this number during the wee hours when my elderly mother, who is 89, is deep in slumber. It's quite clear that it's a scam, and I'm beginning to suspect it might be linked to the alarm system we recently installed for her safety. Just a heads up to everyone out there!!!

this 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.

My elderly mother, who is 81 years old and relies on a telecare service, has been incorrectly billed for calls to this number, which she never actually dialled. In the midst of disputing this issue, her phone was disconnected. It's worth noting that her other bills have consistently been settled punctually. It’s crucial that our vulnerable seniors maintain their access to essential support services. BT needs to investigate this matter promptly.

This number pertains to a pendant alarm service. During the course of testing the alarm alongside the service provider, this particular phone number appears on my BT bill for every trial conducted. It pops up roughly once a month, indicating that the company is performing line checks. Has anyone actually dialled this number to verify its purpose before pointing fingers at BT?

I noticed a peculiar charge on my phone bill that left me rather puzzled at first. After a bit of digging, I discovered that it’s linked to my lifeline pendant. Apparently, when you press that button, it automatically rings this number. Quite interesting, really!

Oh, I've just uncovered what the mystery number is! Turns out, it belongs to my mum’s emergency alert system. BT had mentioned it was affiliated with a construction firm, but if they had only mentioned it was linked to a care service, I would have made the connection straightaway! Initially, I was informed it was complimentary, but it seems charges apply when it's actually used or during test calls. Hopefully, this will be useful for others in a similar situation. It’s a bit baffling that BT didn’t have this info at hand to share with me!

My mother, who struggles with her eyesight and often forgets things, relies on a memory phone that only dials out by tapping on images of family members. Astonishingly, there's been a spate of 11 calls from this London number, 02085227617. There's absolutely no way she could have made those calls! I contacted BT for assistance, but they were utterly unhelpful. It feels like there’s a scam at play, and I’m determined to raise awareness about this fraudulent activity. It's ludicrous that someone is managing to exploit this situation. At 95 years old, my mother certainly doesn't need this hassle. We're completely baffled as to how it's happening. She believes BT should take responsibility for sorting this mess out. We shouldn't have to devote our time dealing with such fraudulent behaviour!

What a complete con this number is! Honestly, if you dare answer, they’ll hit you with a charge of 47 pence. As for BT’s call management, it’s utterly useless against this one; it slips through the cracks every time, and BT's indifference is astounding!

I 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?
