08009755555 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08009755555 👆 is reported as a British Gas contact number primarily used for calls about smart meter installations and meter replacements. While legitimate, the number has been identified as generating frequent nuisance calls, including cold calls to customers and non-customers alike. Call recipients report mixed experiences: some polite and professional engagement when enquiring about smart meters, while others cite relentless calling, silent hang-ups, and automated messages of unclear content. Many users express frustration over repeated calls despite refusal or blocking, with concerns about privacy, pressure tactics, and aggressive follow-ups. The calls are part of a government-driven initiative offering free smart meters, but acceptance is voluntary. Customers are advised to verify through official British Gas channels, remain cautious with unsolicited calls, and use blocking or official complaint routes if necessary.

Just as previously noted, this number indeed belongs to British Gas and is absolutely genuine. I recommend having a look at the notice at the top of the page and reviewing the references that confirm the authenticity of this phone number.

So, if you get a call from British Gas, it’s usually because you’ve asked about having a Smart Meter installed at your home. They only ring up if you’re actually with British Gas or one of their related companies like Sainsbury’s Energy. Basically, it’s their team sorting out appointment bookings.

My answering machine had a voicemail from someone claiming to be from British Gas about a meter replacement, but they never said anything about a smart meter. They left a callback number: 08009755555. When I tried calling it, BT told me that the number’s not active anymore.

I just saw this is supposedly from British Gas. Someone apparently from their team said something like "well at least I’m not on benefits, I have a job." That’s really awful. I can’t work right now because of a health issue. And yeah, people say they get called idiots on here sometimes. There’s so many dodgy calls from companies these days, it’s getting impossible to trust anyone.

Just to clear things up - if you’re hearing from people claiming they’re not from British Gas, but they actually are contacting Sainsbury's Energy customers since that’s under BG too. These calls are totally free and actually help loads of people. If you really don’t want to get these calls, you can ask to be taken off the list, but be aware you might get another call round six months later. The government’s keen on energy companies fitting these meters and they’re aiming to make it a must by 2020.

I've been getting loads of calls from this number on my phone. I'm not signed up with British Gas or anything, so I'm really puzzled about how they even got my details and why they keep ringing me.

Could someone clarify if this number actually belongs to British Gas? Just had a couple of blokes arrive at my doorstep claiming they needed to come inside to inspect the new meter that’s been placed outside. I took a look at their ID and rang the number listed, but all I got was a pre-recorded message. In the end, I told them to leave.

I’m employed by British Gas, making calls about Smart meters both out and inbound. This’s the number we use. To those calling us idiots or worse, I reckon when 2020 rolls around and these meters are compulsory and might even cost you, you’ll probably regret not agreeing sooner. We’re just doing our job, and honestly, better us than people just claiming benefits without working. If folks bothered to look up the real facts about these meters, they’d see they’re quite useful actually.

Had to chime in after seeing some of the daft comments here. This is just British Gas reaching out with a free smart meter offer. The person ringing you is just doing their job, probably not the most exciting one, and some folks are calling them names for no reason. Plus, getting an 0800 number isn’t easy - it’s only given to legit companies by the government, so for those moaning it’s dangerous, think again. In this day and age, people are so paranoid about picking up calls. Just be polite and you’ll get the message, simple. That’s my bit!

Someone rang saying they were from British Gas, and after checking the phone number through a few different apps, it turned out to be legit. They tried to sell me smart meters, which I went for, but I never got any confirmation through the post about the appointment. So I’m planning to cancel. If you can’t get basic things right, then don’t waste my time with your mess-ups.

Got a call from British Gas today about fitting smart meters. Apparently, the government is making energy companies push this, so don’t be surprised if they keep ringing till you pick up.

This is just a government project trying to get everyone to install smart meters. No scams, no tricks, nothing dodgy going on, so no need to stress about it.

Got another call from British Gas, this time about fitting smart meters for business. Told them every single time we’re not interested, but they just keep ringing. Seriously, when will they just give it a rest? It’s got to stop.

Had a call from someone about smart meters from British Gas. They were pretty polite and took it well when I told them I wasn’t keen.

Whenever a number pops up on my phone and I don’t know who it is, I just don’t pick up. If it’s really important, the person can just leave a voicemail, but honestly, no one ever has.

I had this number ringing me every day and kept leaving messages on my voicemail. After a while, I gave in and answered. The person on the other end spoke with a strong Indian accent, saying something about British Gas and some smart meter deal. I just ended the call straight away and blocked the number.

I got a call from someone saying smart meters have to be fitted and are mandatory, but really they only have to give the option of a smart meter - it’s entirely up to the householder to decide. Properly annoying how pushy they were trying to sell it!

Got a call earlier about some Smart Meter thing, and when I told the bloke I wasn’t interested, he made a proper weird sound like he’d just been caught out or something.

What a bunch of deceivers! I had a prepayment meter installed just to settle a minor debt, yet they are adamant about not removing it unless I pass a credit check. It's absolutely outrageous! I refuse to be intimidated into accepting another meter again. I’ve had enough of their nonsense!

Don’t fall for these smart meter scams, it’s all a trick. You’ll end up paying way more on your energy bill, like six times as much. Plus, there’s worries about radiation causing health problems and even fires. If something goes wrong, good luck getting any compensation, not to mention wasted hours trying to sort it. There’s loads wrong with the whole thing. Also, there’s too many staff getting paid ridiculous amounts, they should seriously consider cutting that down.

They said I had to get a SMART meter but I refused. I wasn’t gonna waste my time or give them £100 off my bill. Ended up telling them to forget it, wasn’t gonna make any money from it anyway.

Putting a Faraday cage around your SMART meter can block the radiation and might even lower the risk of it catching fire.

The authorities really need to step up and stop just sitting on their hands. A hefty fine, like £500 million, is the only way to put an end to these relentless calls once and for all.

Had a ring from British Gas about swapping out gas meters that are apparently near the end of their lifespan. Bit strange really since we’re in a fairly new house. They also threw in something about a smart meter, but didn’t really explain much. Felt a bit off to me.

I received a missed call from this number. When I attempted to return the call, all I got was a robotic voice saying, “Welcome to British Gas smart metering...” I quickly ended the call, as I wasn’t keen on that topic. To be honest, I don’t have much of an opinion on smart meters; I simply can’t spare the time to have one installed, particularly with winter fast approaching.

Just received a call from British Gas on 0800 975 5555, pushing those smart meters. I have serious concerns about them-they could end up bursting into flames! Who would want to gamble with their home like that? And let’s not forget, if something does go awry, British Gas won't hold themselves accountable since you effectively waive your rights when you sign that contract.

Quite frankly, these meters haven’t undergone proper risk assessments in my opinion.

Is it really worth it to take such a chance?

I received a rather peculiar call from British Gas about smart meters, which struck me as rather untoward. They seemed to suggest that it was essential for me to have one installed and that an engineer would be in touch shortly. I decided to play along and gather some details without revealing any personal information. Once I hung up, I reached out to my actual supplier, who informed me it was probably just a promotional call. I've since blocked that number!

I was considering getting a smart gas meter installed, but when I expressed my reluctance, the caller abruptly hung up on me. They claimed to represent British Gas. If that’s genuinely the case, I’d appreciate receiving an official email from them. It feels as though they’re incentivised to replace human meter readers with smart meters. The incessant phone calls from the call centre are quite tiresome, so I've decided to block their number now.

I think it was British Gas that called me, but honestly all I heard was noise from a hectic office and nobody seemed to want to talk to me properly. They’re really terrible to deal with, yet I’m stuck in a contract with them at the moment.

Been getting nonstop calls from British Gas about their Smart Meters - like 7 missed in just the past hour alone. I’ve told them a few times already that I’m aware and not interested right now, and I can even order it online if I want. But they just keep ringing. Proper annoying, so I’ve finally blocked the number. Can't believe they keep pestering me like this every day, like 10 calls or more.

With ZERO POINT ENERGY, we might not even need those fancy SMART energy meters anymore. It'll probably make all our current energy tracking gadgets pointless.

Don’t get tricked by British Gas SMART meters! Studies from universities show they charge you up to 6 times more than you should be paying. The batteries inside are not very reliable and can run out easily. The radiation they emit is way higher than normal. You can even find videos on YouTube of these meters catching fire. They’re also a security hazard as hackers have managed to break into them. Unlike the old-fashioned meters, these won’t last you 40 years. Plus, having one isn’t compulsory. They often mess up keeping your bills accurate as well. Loads of issues, honestly.

I was curious about getting a smart meter so I asked if it’d still function alright if I changed my energy supplier. They said no at the moment but promised some new software early next year that’ll fix that. I also made it clear I’m not interested in deals from cold calls.

My phone buzzed with an unknown number, so I just left it. There was no voicemail left, so I figured it mustn't be anything urgent. I looked it up on this site afterwards and then blocked the caller.

Just like others have said, they kept ringing my landline. I told BGas straight up that the smart meter won't happen unless it's made mandatory. Tons of homes wouldn't even be suitable for them if they tried. These days, I've started using BT's 1572 service - it's free and lets you pick the last number you answered so you can block it from calling again. Pretty handy!

British Gas and those smart meters, eh? You’ve got folks who swear by them, claiming they’re a brilliant way to keep tabs on energy usage. On the flip side, there are plenty who reckon they’re nothing but a recipe for trouble, suggesting they bombard us with harmful electromagnetic waves. Quite the debate, I must say!

They really should get a grip and stop being so damn greedy. Absolute rubbish!

If this is British Gas ringing about smart meters, they’re just wasting their breath. We actually scrapped our smart meter installation appointment because of all the negative news around them. I don’t recognise this number either, so I’ve blocked it now. They’ve called my phone loads of times and then just hung up right away.

I really can’t understand why firms hire folks for call centres. Who in their right mind wants to spend hours ringing hundreds of people daily? They must be some kind of robots with no common sense. I never pick up if the number’s unfamiliar. If businesses are serious about offering me stuff, they should just send a letter. Instead, they waste my time with these clueless telemarketers who barely make sense. Just stop bothering me!

Every time I answer, the person on the other end makes no sense and can’t seem to talk properly. Why do these companies hire people who sound clueless and don’t bother to teach them how to speak on the phone? They said they were from British Gas, but when I asked them to prove it, they just kept saying my mobile number was on the account - which it’s definitely not, as I told them. When I pressed for evidence, they just kept asking me how I wanted them to prove it. Getting fed up, I started humming a lullaby to them, “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” and I reckon they nodded off!

Just wanted to say, smart meters aren't mandatory - it's totally your decision. The government made it so energy companies need to ofer them to every home and small business around Great Britain by 2020, but you don't have to agree to get one. I reckon that's why they're ringing you. Be cautious and don't rush, say no if you're unsure and ring British Gas directly if you fancy switching to a smart meter. Remember, it’s not forced on you.

I've had loads of calls from this number, like seriously too many, feels almost like harassment. Seems like a proper cold caller to me. If they say they're from British Gas, they should be sending a letter about meter stuff and new rules with a proper contact number for questions. Honestly, I'd be wary of this one. Loads of folks are asking why they're calling. Best to just block it, in my opinion.

I received a phone call from British Gas inquiring whether I’d be interested in having a smart meter fitted. I’m quite keen on the idea, and an engineer is scheduled to come at a time we've agreed upon to set it up. I’ve had one at a former address, and I found them to be quite efficient. Just to be on the safe side, I verified the number on the official British Gas website, and it’s absolutely legitimate.

This random number keeps ringing me up and it's getting really annoying. I never pick up calls from numbers I don't recognise and just let the voicemail get it, but guess what? There's never any message left. Honestly, someone should do something about these pest callers and catch them, maybe fine them heavily so they think twice. Feels pointless to even report or block it though, cos from what I hear they can switch their caller ID in a snap!

Got a visit from a bloke with British Gas about swapping my current meter for a smart one. He was really courteous, just confirmed the start of my postcode and didn’t push for any extra info. No pressure at all, which I appreciated. I’m glad to have it sorted since I’m fed up with those annoying estimated readings and having to do manual meter checks.

BG keeps calling me daily, so I’ve blocked the number now. Honestly, how many times do I need to say I’m NOT INTERESTED in their so-called smart meter? My elderly neighbour has one, and his boiler broke down. The BG technician was there for hours, only to discover the "smart" meter had just switched itself off. What a waste of time!
