08000725230 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08000725230 👆 is reported as a frequently called number linked to British Gas smart meter installations, often identified as an outsourced or subcontracted service rather than direct British Gas contact. Callers typically ask to confirm limited details like postcodes and may schedule appointments for meter fitting. However, many users report unsolicited and repeated calls, sometimes with no messages or unintelligible voicemails, causing frustration and suspicion of scams. The number does not appear on British Gas’s official website check tool, adding to uncertainty. Recipients are advised to verify calls by contacting British Gas directly using numbers on official documents, not to provide personal information unsolicited, and to report persistent calls as unsolicited marketing or potential scams. Blocking the number is commonly recommended by users experiencing harassment.

It's the usual sort of call that promptly hangs up as soon as you pick up. I suspect this is linked to some sort of autodialler, where the first lucky soul who answers connects, while everyone else just gets the boot. I've seen folks mentioning that this number isn’t associated with British Gas, so that’s a red flag right there. It begs the question: why are phone providers allowing this nonsense to continue? Clearly, someone is profiting from these calls. It’s high time they stepped in and put a stop to this cold calling racket. What are they waiting for? - MLL

I got a call from 08000725230 - some automated voice claiming to be Scottish Gas - it asked me to press any button. When I did, it played a recorded message about a connection issue and then just cut the call off.

Got a call from some robotic voice saying "Thank you for calling, we'll connect you to an agent shortly." Problem is, I never dialled them - they called me. Sounds like either a dodgy scam or just rubbish service from a team that can't handle their calling system properly. Anyway, blocked for me.

Got a call from British Gas saying it was about a meter reading, but she couldn’t really say why I was getting a reminder a whole month early. I’ve been with them for ages and never had these sorts of calls before. Felt a bit odd, if you ask me.

What a dodgy experience! I’d just changed my address, so I thought it was alright for BG to ring me. However, the person on the other end didn’t come across as particularly knowledgeable. In fact, I’m still scratching my head about why they even bothered to call. They were all over the place, asking if I needed assistance with anything-almost as if I’d reached out to them for help. Sounds a bit like phishing to me!

I rang British Gas to arrange a free boiler check, and I clearly picked option 1 at the IVR when asked if I didn’t want a callback about a CSAT survey. But they went ahead and phoned my job number anyway. Their outbound IVR is definitely not following the rules.

It was British Gas calling, and they never asked for any personal details. They just rang up to check if I had set up an account, which I had done a fortnight earlier, and to remind me to submit a fresh meter reading online. They emailed me a link during the call, and it directed to legitimate British Gas web pages only.

They never told me who they were, just said something like "Thanks for calling, someone will be with you shortly" so I just ended the call. Since loads of people are talking about British Gas and smart meters, maybe it’s linked to the smart meter they installed at mine yesterday.

It was British Gas phoning me about switching to a smart meter, but I told them I wasn’t interested! They then said they could remove me from their call list. Definitely worth picking up just to get them to stop ringing you.

Got a call from 08000725230, the person claimed to be from British Gas and wanted to set up a smart meter installation. They said there were engineers nearby and wanted to book a time for a call. It didn’t feel right, so I asked for a number to call back. They refused and said they’d phone me again in a couple of weeks!

This number is from British Gas nowadays. They just ring to set up a smart meter upgrade under a government initiative. They only ask for your postcode since they already have all your info from when you pay your bills to them!

This is definitely dodgy! I got a call claiming to be from British Gas regarding a smart meter for our gas supply, which is a bit strange since we don’t even have gas. The conversation then shifted to our electricity smart meter. I put a stop to that right away and rang up British Gas myself. Turns out, it wasn’t from them at all! They confirmed that they only upgrade to smart meters if you’re using both gas and electricity through their services. Best to be wary of these sorts of calls!

This number keeps calling me loads throughout the day. I picked up once and they said they were from British Gas and even seemed to know my name. But when I checked the number on the official BG site under their 'Did we call you?' tool, it said the number wasn’t recognised. Maybe BG has hired external call centres who aren’t properly managed or it could be a scam. Whatever it is, it’s really irritating!!

I'm a bit sceptical about this, seeing as British Gas offers a service for verifying numbers, yet this particular one doesn't seem to register. Perhaps you could have a look yourself at this link: https://www.britishgas.co.uk/help-and-advice/contactus-personal-details/did-we-call-you.html?

Had another ring from them in just two days; I'm really not convinced it's British Gas. Honestly, I’m pretty wary about what’s said below - this smells like a scam to me and I think these con artists might be catching on to websites like this.

Got a call from this number today, the person was quite helpful and I ended up saying yes to a smart meter. After seeing some comments online, I thought I'd double check with BG, and they confirmed it was legit. So, I'd say it's a genuine number. Now just waiting for them to come and fit it.

I just checked on the BG website under their "Contact Us" section, where they have a part called "Did we call you?" It says if they tried ringing you, you can check there to see if the missed call was from British Gas. You just put the number into a search box to find out why they called and how to reply. I typed in 08000725320 and it came up with "Sorry, we couldn't find the number you entered." That really makes me think it wasn’t British Gas ringing me after all.

After seeing all the comments and just recently changing over to British Gas for my energy, it figures they might ring me about something. I noticed missed calls on both my mobile and home phone but no voicemail left.

This number belongs to British Gas, so do take care when dialling it. It's likely related to the installation of a smart meter. Just in case, here’s the number: 08000725230.

Got a call and a voicemail from this number. Was a bit hard to make out, but seemed like something about a smart meter, just like others have said here. Didn't catch the callback number properly, but honestly, after reading the comments, I’m not bothering to call back.

0800 0936 735 - Looks like these scammers have switched up their tactics. I got a message claiming to be from Barclays saying there was a suspicious payment of £2000.00 02UK. It asked me to reply Y if it was me, or call 0800 0936 735 if not. Thing is, I don’t even have an account with Barclays or O2. I work in banking and have seen loads of these scams lately. Sounds like they’re trying to trick people into giving away their online banking details. Stay sharp and tell others about it!

Said she was from British Gas and already knew my name, went on about different tariffs. She even knew which one I’m currently on and when it expires. I asked her to send details in writing cos the reception was rubbish and she said she was calling from a call centre. She was really nice about it and promised to do so.

Got a call from this number, it went straight to voicemail and the message was just a bunch of automated letters, kind of like the one someone mentioned on 20/03/2017; sounded like o-p-l-a-y-a-m-d-m-s-g or something similar.

I've been getting daily calls from this number for a whole week now! Typically, I steer clear of picking up for numbers I don't recognise, unless they're verified online. Today, they actually left a voicemail claiming to be from British Gas, discussing something about smart meters; however, when I checked, they didn’t seem to have any presence on the official British Gas website. Just a word of caution to everyone-stay savvy and don’t fall for scams!

This number keeps popping up on my phone daily and I’m proper fed up with it. Just imagine if you’re out and your phone rings, but no one picks up, while some dodgy character is lurking in your area. They could take it as a sign no one’s home and might try to break in. That’s why I believe cold calling is a huge breach of our rights, as it puts our homes and stuff in danger when we’re not around.

Beware! This is most certainly NOT British Gas, despite their assertions. I've had eight calls now from this number, claiming to be British Gas trying to arrange a smart meter installation. I’ve made it abundantly clear that I have no interest in having a smart meter installed, yet they persistently keep ringing back. I reached out to British Gas to voice my concerns, only to be informed that this number is definitely not theirs. It seems it’s likely one of the independent contractors dealing with smart meter fittings. My advice? Just let the answering machine pick up, or leave your phone unattended while you "go fetch" the bill payer-it’s a delightful way to turn the tables on them for their bothersome calls and might just cost them a bit more for the privilege!

WATCH OUT! This is NOT British Gas like they say. They've rung me about eight times even after I told them I didn't want a "smart meter," which I find really annoying. I checked with British Gas and they confirmed this number isn't theirs or anyone acting for them. Also, just so you know, your supplier should offer a smart meter by 2020, but you don't have to take it unless your current one stops working properly.

I received a rather puzzling NOPLAY message on my phone after missing a call. The number appeared to be associated with British Gas, so I decided to reach out to them through their official text service found on their website. They confirmed it was indeed their number, but couldn’t provide any specifics regarding the nature of the call. All they could tell me was that I had shown some interest in a new meter at some point. Quite curious, isn’t it?

A very courteous bloke rang this morning from that number, said he was phoning from BG and wanted to talk to (insert lady's name). When I told him he had the wrong number, he was really sorry and ended the call straight away. Honestly, it didn’t seem like anything sketchy or annoying to me.

NOT FROM BRITISH GAS - I rang British Gas afterwards to verify (I set up a callback with them for tomorrow) and they confirmed it’s not them. Apparently loads of firms are doing this nowadays, fitting smart meters in an attempt to steal British Gas customers. They might install a meter, but they’re not connected to British Gas at all - if you’re unsure, give British Gas a bell yourself to be safe.

British Gas keeps ringing me nonstop, leaving loads of messages every day about those smart meters. I already handled the first call by ringing back the number they left on the voicemail, but they’re still blowing up my phone. I finally picked up, but no one said anything, just background noise, so I ended up hanging up.

Oh, here we go again with those utterly inept British Gas! Isn’t it odd that the number they provided doesn't even match up with what you find on their official site? Talk about customer service gone awry! They seem to think it’s acceptable to bombard us with relentless and pushy sales calls. Honestly, who has the time to chat with them? What on earth is it with these firms? Can’t they just give us a breather? They ought to go and find themselves some proper work instead. Seriously, do NOT engage with them, and if you haven’t already, make sure to BLOCK them! Absolute pain in the backside!

Not sure who just rang me as they didn’t leave any voicemail. Looks like it might be British Gas from a quick lookup. If it is them, why are they still phoning my mobile after I told them to stop? Feels like a bit of a data protection slip-up? Be careful and don’t share any personal info!

This number just rang me up, some third party or contractor, but honestly, I don't care who they claim to be - I'm not handing over my personal info to anyone not directly from the company. The bloke I spoke to couldn't even tell if I had a smart meter installed. He said he was from BG or something like that. Please guys, be really careful about sharing any details when random calls like this come through. If you're not 100% sure, just hang up and ring BG yourself using the number off your bill. Let's be savvy and look out for each other.

Yeh, that sounds like the firm hired by British Gas to install smart meters everywhere. They wanna get rid of manual meter readings altogether. It’s a free service aight. They’ll set you up with a date and also give you another number to call 0800 975 5555, which is for British Gas.

definitely NOT British Gas calling me. I just ignored the call. Their official site actually has a spot where you can check if a call was really from them. Head over to britishgas[###], click on ‘Contact Us’, then on the left side choose ‘Did we call you?’ I popped the number in there and, like others said, it says ‘Sorry, we can’t find that phone number.’ So yeah, pretty clear this wasn't them!

No way that was really British Gas in my opinion.

This is actually a subcontractor working on behalf of British Gas. They're doing a rollout of new smart meters for them. Since British Gas engineers have their own jobs to do, they hired these guys to handle this extra task. The calls are legit, although they can be a bit insistent. I've decided to block the numbers as I’m not interested in having a smart meter, and I prefer to stay in credit with British Gas rather than the other way around.

Just to clear things up for anyone thinking this is British Gas - it’s definitely not them. It’s actually a third party pretending to be British Gas to use their trusted reputation. I spoke directly with a manager there who confirmed they’re not involved at all. These scammers install smart meters and then charge either the suppliers or sometimes even the customers themselves. Seriously, be very cautious before handing over any personal info or agreeing to anything from these companies.

This number rang me about fitting a smart meter, and I ended up scheduling an appointment. Later, I phoned British Gas on 0800 9755555 - the number is legit and appears on their official site - and a lady there confirmed my booking. Funny thing is, when I rang 0800 9755555 right after the initial call, the appointment didn’t appear on their records, so I’m thinking this call was from one of their subcontractors. I only checked after waiting a week though.
