08003196053 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08003196053 👆 is reported as a phone number used by Providor, a third-party contractor working on behalf of Scottish Power to install smart meters. Many users describe frequent, persistent calls pressuring individuals to accept smart meter installations, often continuing despite requests to stop. Some report poor communication, abrupt hang-ups, and calls occurring at inconvenient times. Complaints include alleged data sharing without consent, potential GDPR concerns, and issues with appointment scheduling. While some customers found the service helpful and polite, a significant number express frustration, feeling harassed or bullied, especially when insisting they do not want a smart meter. New visitors are advised to exercise caution, politely refuse if uninterested, consider blocking the number, and report unwanted calls if necessary.

The firm’s named Provider.. they fit smart meters for Scottish Power and I’ve been stuck on hold for ages now, like 10 minutes, after they’ve cancelled my install not once, but twice. Honestly, some might call that a bit dodgy behaviour from the company.

Scottish Power keep ringing me about Smart Meters non stop. I’ve blocked the number and sent them an email. But weirdly, that number is actually linked to Spark Energy, so I’m thinking this is either some kind of phishing scam or Scottish Power have handed over my info, which surely breaks GDPR rules in my opinion.

This number keeps ringing me every single day and the cheeky lot even send emails saying they’re around my way this week, asking if I want to book a smart meter install. Hilarious, they seem to ‘be in my area’ every single week. I reckon someone’s working for commission, but they won’t make a penny from me; I left Scottish Power ages ago because their service was rubbish and I’m not going back.

It's Scottish Power ringing up to try and get you to install one of their Smart Meters. I put their number on my landline block list and haven't had any more calls from them. That is until they ring from another number, then I just block that one too, and it keeps happening like that.

Got a call at 8 this mornin. I told the bloke straight away I wasn’t interested in what he had to say and that ringing so early was just plain rude. Was lucky I kept calm cos I’d had a terrible night with my husband, who’s only just out the hospital and still not great. Already told SP loads of times I don’t want a smart meter, especially after they kinda forced their way in last year, saying my husband agreed to it. Luckily I got back quick and kicked them out before they could fit it.

Same here, they kept ringing me over and over again - called me twice within like 30 minutes this morning. I just didn’t pick up. Not interested in getting one of those smart meters, don’t trust they’re safe at all.

I’m in the same boat as the person who wrote on 11/07/2019: I stopped being a Scottish Power customer last year due to their poor service and the rubbish job done by Providor, their meter installer, who’s now ringing me up. I don’t want a smart meter, and even if I did, there’s no way I’d get it through either of those awful firms. You lot are hopeless, so just leave people alone!

To the person who commented on 06/07/2019 and anyone else looking for a Scottish Power email: it’s [email protected][###]. They seem quite secretive about it though. Given they get the most complaints out of all the energy companies, it makes you wonder why they’re so hush-hush about contact details?

They keep ringing non stop. I've told them I don't want a smart meter like a million times now, honestly lost track. I've put it on answerphone cause they never bother to leave a message anyway, so feel free to keep calling but it's just a waste of your time.

They keep ringing me about getting a smart meter fitted. Say they’re from my energy provider but keep calling me at work. We actually have our own substation here, so not sure how a smart meter would even be useful. Feels a bit dodgy to me.
7 years
Just to clarify, when I mentioned that there isn't an option to decline, I was referring to the fact that we shouldn't have to deal with unsolicited calls in the first place. I'm aware that we're not obliged to sign up, yet it seems the energy company shared our details without our consent.

Received a call from this number on my mobile. From what I gather in the remarks, it appears to be related to smart meters. I'm currently with Shell Energy and have previously dealt with Scottish Power. During both tenures, I've been bombarded by persistent smart meter salespeople. Now, I solely use my mobile to keep track of nuisance calls. This way, I can avoid the bother altogether. This particular number is just another entry in my blocked list, as it seems to be employing the same old routines. From what I've seen, it's practically impossible to opt out of smart meters. Each time I've tried to refuse through my energy supplier, it hasn’t put an end to the relentless calls from third parties pushing smart meters.

Scottish Power again. I ended my contract with them after all the hassle they caused me throughout last year, yet the caller seemed clueless about it. No wonder Scottish Power tops the complaints chart amongst the 'Big Six' energy companies. That’s exactly why I won’t be going back to them. I’m going to label this call as harassment, but honestly, there should be a label for just plain rubbish.

Fed up with folks ringing me from loads of different numbers. I’ve told them loads of times I’m moving to a new provider once my contract ends ‘cause their service is rubbish and I don’t want their smart meter. They keep saying they’ll put a note on my account, but the calls won’t stop. It’s getting close to harassment, I get calls nearly every day!

I've repeatedly informed SSE that I’m not interested in having a smart meter fitted until the technology sees some proper advancements. There's little use in having an outdated smart meter that isn't transferable between suppliers. Yet, I find myself still receiving these pesky calls!

The service from the provider working with Scottish Power was spot on. They took the hassle out of submitting meter readings for me, and FYI, those smart meters only collect the meter readings, nothing else. I’m quite wary about what tech comes into my home, so before booking, I asked for a callback to thoroughly confirm if the smart meter they fit would be safe and compatible. After all the checks, I went ahead and scheduled the installation. Now I’m just waiting for the smart meters to be fitted!

These muppets ring up but never bother to leave a message. I’ve told them before that I’m not up for it and to stop calling me, yet they just keep pestering, trying to force a meter installed. Proper annoying!

I've been receiving calls from this number for a good few months now, pestering me no less than twice daily! They seem determined to pressure me into accepting a smart meter, despite my constant refusals. It's outrageous! They ring me at all hours, day and night. It's become so unbearable that I've resorted to unplugging my landline just to get some peace! This feels like a form of harassment!

This number has been ringing me for months straight, like twice a day minimum! They say they’re from Scottish Power, pushing me about getting a smart meter. Thing is, I’m not even with Scottish Power anymore - I switched suppliers because the pestering was unbearable! I’ve told them loads of times I’m not interested in a smart meter, but they just don’t listen! It’s so annoying that I’ve had to unplug my landline just so the phone doesn’t keep going off constantly!

Got called by Scottish Power, or some outfit working for them, about installing a smart meter. Truth is, you’re not obliged to have one. They’re just meant to offer it by 2020, which they’ve done loads of times to me. I’ve told them repeatedly to stop ringing me, they say they’ll put a note on my account and I won’t get further calls, but it’s clearly rubbish.

Scottish Power have got some company called Provider doing their calls, trying to trick folks into getting a Smart Meter put in. I never said it was alright to share my info with anyone else. The person ringing me told loads of lies about Smart Meters, like it’s the law to have one and the old meters work just like the new ones (they’re still pushing to replace the first gen ones).

I’m not familiar with this number at all. I definitely didn’t authorise this operator to give me a call.

No idea who was on the line but as soon as I picked up they just dropped the call. Judging by what's been said here it sounds like Scottish Power ringing AGAIN about some stupid smart meter I’ve no interest in. Blocked them.

they rang me today about smart meters. i’ve already emailed scottish power's complaints team to say i dont want one, as they cant give me the answers i need about the radio signals these meters use and how it might be affected by my own devices. i’m getting pretty annoyed with all this now.

Answerd the call and saw the number, looked like it was from Scottish Power, my pricey energy company. The person on the line said I shouldn’t get a smart meter, so I’m not going for one. Funny enough, the call ended just as I answered.

I've asked them loads of times to quit ringing me and erase my info. Still, they’re on the blower almost daily. Had to block 'em now, but from what I gather here, they'll just try a different number next. Proper muppets trying to shove faulty smart meters down your throat. Absolute bullies!!!

Scottish Power, how cheeky of them to share my info without asking! I was already thinking of cancelling with them, but now I’m definitely gonna sort it out faster! Tried blocking three different numbers but they just ring again from a new one. If i wanted a smart meter, I would have replied to the original email they sent me, right? The fact I haven’t got back to them means I’m not interested. Calling nearly every day isn’t gonna change anything!! Proper pushy behaviour. Fingers crossed they don’t have endless 0800 numbers, it’s getting really annoying.

Got calls from a company claiming to be working for Scottish Power, but they somehow got my details and passed them on without asking me first. I asked them to leave me alone, but they keep ringing every single day. Does anyone know where I can make a complaint about this? It’s really not on.

Had some "provider" trying to trick me into getting a smart meter fitted. Told the bloke to jog on and hung up straight away. Properly annoying call, and that rubbish about "our engineers being nearby" is total bull.

Scottish Power have set another date for installing this smart meter I never asked for. Tried calling them to complain but they just said it’s a third party doing the installation and refused to take my complaint. When I pressed them it was like they couldn’t decide if it was their own company or a third party. Feels like a con to force these useless smart meters on us. Done with Scottish Power now.

I’m really sick of getting calls from 08003196053. My advice? Just ignore the calls and hang up straight away. Hopefully, they’ll take the hint and leave you alone soon.

Kept getting calls nonstop about those smart meters, they just ignore when you say no. Feels like they’re using pressure tactics through some middlemen for Scottish Power, really aggressive stuff.

Got a call from Scottish Power or maybe some 3rd party (I'll try to check next time they ring). It was all about smart meters, which I'm gonna say no to again on the next call. Thinking of contacting SP directly and telling them if they keep ringing, I'll switch to a different energy company.

Scottish Power, what a joke. They passed my info onto third parties without asking. I switched to a different company asap. I'd recommend everyone else do the same. Maybe then they'll learn a lesson.

I keep receiving these incessant calls which are nothing but irritating cold calls from some random company. They've obviously obtained my information without any consent or discussion beforehand. Their aim seems to be to pressure or persuade me into accepting the installation of the now outdated version of smart meters. Let's be clear, nobody is obligated to go through with this until it’s made a legal requirement for every home to have one installed.

Got another call from Scottish Power, this time about some smart meter thing. They really don’t give up, do they? I just let it ring every time.

Indeed, the smart meters are part of a government initiative. They instruct companies to schedule appointments for installations.

I made it pretty clear to Scottish Power that I don’t want a smart meter, but they keep ringing me anyhow. Anyone who doesn’t see that as harassment is either a bit thick or just doesn’t get that SP ignore your wishes. When you say no to something, you should be able to expect they’ll stop pestering you, right? I even filled in an online form specifically saying I don’t want a new meter, yet here they are still phoning me about it. Like others have mentioned, why do they think they can keep calling me? I’m just gonna keep blocking their numbers until they run out.

Got a call from a firm called 'Provider' the other day. Turns out they work as subcontractors for Scottish Power, doing meter installations and replacements. Bit of an odd situation but thought I'd share.

I’ve had loads of calls from Scottish Power trying to push me into getting a smart meter. They just don’t stop! Every time I block one number, they ring from a different one. True, you’re not forced by law to get a smart meter, and honestly, there’s a few downsides - like you could get stuck with them. Plus, I’ve heard that smart meters aren’t super secure and might be hacked. Not keen, really.

Got a call earlier, and I told ’em straight up I’m not interested in any cold calls these days, wrote it all down as well. If it’s Scottish Power pushing those meters on us that we really don’t need, I’m seriously thinking of going old school with candles and cutting the lot loose!

Every day I keep getting calls from Scottish Power pestering me about installing a smart meter. I can read my own meter just fine, thank you, and don’t need them telling me how much energy I should use. I'm definitely not daft or oblivious. Honestly, it’s annoying and I’m planning to report this 0800 number for the hassle.
