My mum’s Virgin Media bill shows this exact number coming up every evening at the same time and it’s costing her a premium charge, even though she hasn’t rung it. How is this even possible?

This number seems to be reaching out to someone who is quite impressionable.

This is definitely the phone for Telecare, like the emergency button and pull cord for older people to call for help. Bit annoying it's a premium rate number, but it's a real lifesaver if you ever gotta press it.

I got a call from Telecare24 about their falls alarm service. The call seemed legit, but just a heads up, they charge a premium rate like they mention in their contract.

I've been charged for six calls from this number, but I never actually made them. TalkTalk sorted out the refund for me and suggested I use CallSafe to block the number.

Just wanted to update my comment from 11th Nov - this annoying number keeps ringing my elderly mum loads of times every month and my phone company, BT, still hasn't sorted it out or given us a refund. Tried using their online chat but that was a waste of time, and I’ve emailed them too but got no reply. Looks like I’ll have to keep chasing them. Really frustrating.

I never dialled this number, yet I got billed 4 times already this month for calls to it. Does anyone know who they are? Also, how come the charges appeared on my account?

Oh it’s one of those telecare calls. Kinda annoying for sure, but I get it - as long as they’re there in case my mum needs help quickly, it’s worth it. We’ll still be ringing them up though, cause they’re calling way too much.

Watch out for telecare24, they use this pricey number, 0844352833. I experienced a couple of power outages and ended up getting billed for four expensive calls. Apparently, whenever their base unit checks in to make sure everything’s okay or if it gets triggered, the calls are charged at a premium rate. It’s really harsh on older folks, and they never warned me about these extra charges.

watch out for telecare24, they use this pricey number 0844352833. i had a couple power failures at home and ended up getting billed for 4 calls at premium rate. each time their base unit checks in or if there's an alert, it dials out and charges through the roof. this seems really unfair, especially for older folks, and nobody told me about these fees upfront.

this call came from some marketing company in Sweden called Rizzlebury Co. Ltd. since they operate internationally, if your phone plan doesn’t include an international free minutes bundle, you end up getting charged for incoming calls. i got this info from BT (check out my earlier comment about the charges my mum got). thankfully, BT sorted out the refund and also blocked the number. definitely a scam, avoid it.

I spotted this number showing up on my mum’s landline bill - she’s got dementia and doesn’t usually ring anyone. Turns out it’s been called 11 times in the last month, costing nearly £5. Gonna keep a close watch on it for now.

I tried calling this number and it just sounded like a fax machine, so be careful before you pick up. Thought it might be a regular call but nope, definitely just fax noises. Just a heads up!

My mum's recent phone statement had six calls from this number. She's elderly, frail, and suffers from dementia. Despite that, she always answers quickly, worried it might be something urgent. It makes her really anxious and confused, which is quite worrying.

I've heard from others that the Telecare 24 home emergency systems ring this number maybe one or two times a month on their own to make sure everything's alright. Feels a bit wrong to me that they want to charge per call on top of that, especially since they're already taking more than £13 each month for the service.

I’m getting billed for a call I didn’t even make, and the only way to fix it seems to be by switching my phone number. This is really frustrating!

I just saw that this number has been appearing on my TalkTalk bill for nearly a year and a half, but I didn't pick up on it till now. The calls show up after midnight and usually go on for around 16 or 17 seconds. Strange thing is, I never remember making these calls.

I've been getting loads of calls from someone who claims they're from TalkTalk, saying my internet will be cut off today and I need to get in touch with them. Normally I just let it ring out, especially on weekends, but now it’s just nonstop - like five calls every day. It’s driving me mad!

I stumbled upon this number on my statement, and I’m not entirely convinced it even rang on the days mentioned. It’s all a bit of a mystery, to be honest.

This number pertains to TeleCare 24, an outfit dedicated to providing emergency assistance for elderly individuals who may require support, such as following a tumble. It seems the customer's device dials this number automatically "several times each month" to verify that the line remains operational. If you're experiencing an excessive number of calls (as we did.....50 monthly at a charge of £12.25), it would be wise to contact them to arrange for a new set-up within your home. You can reach their customer service at 08000 776904.
