08448480809 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08448480809 👆 is reported as a number frequently appearing on UK phone bills linked to ADT alarm systems performing regular line tests. Many users, including those who have ended their contracts or no longer use the service, report numerous short calls daily or weekly, resulting in unexpected, ongoing charges at premium rates. Complaints highlight unclear communication from ADT and phone providers, with users feeling unfairly charged on top of existing service fees. Attempts to resolve through providers or ADT often face delays and limited assistance. The calls serve to verify alarm signalling, but concerns remain over transparency, consent, and cumulative costs. Consumers experiencing such charges are advised to monitor bills closely, contact their alarm provider for clarity, and escalate unresolved disputes appropriately.

I got charged 38p and I have no idea why. Seems really odd to me!

So this number 084484808809 appeared on my phone statement and I’ve no clue why. I never signed up with ADT alarms or anything like that, so what’s going on? It’s really strange!

Got charged loads for calling 08448480809, they say it's a premium rate number but I already pay a monthly fee to ADT. What bugs me is how they make a bunch of calls right after each other - I counted 15 in just a few minutes one day! Last month I ended up with 46 separate call charges from them, some costing as much as 33p each. Feels like I'm being hit way too much for no good reason.

I reckon this might be a call from ADT security, you know, the alarm company.

I’m having the same problem here. I’m shelling out an extra £25 to £30 each month to TalkTalk, but it’s not sorted anything. I got in touch with their support but they weren’t much help at all.

About five years back I had an ADT alarm, but it’s been switched off for around two years now and I don’t use it at all. Still, I keep seeing extra charges on my Sky bill for the number 08448480809. I never ring that number, so why am I being charged? I’m paying an additional £12 every month and it feels like some kind of con between Sky and ADT. I really don’t want to keep paying for this!

Ever since the 16th of February, we've noticed this number appearing on our phone bill every single day. It all started right after we had the ADT burglar alarm installed. We're currently having BT look into this number for us.

We’ve just taken a gander at our detailed billing from Sky and it turns out I've been receiving calls daily for the past 18 weeks! Apparently, they’re slapping a charge of 14p per call on us, which adds up to roughly £4.20 a month. What's infuriating is that nobody bothered to mention we’d incur such charges. Considering I'm already shelling out £30 a week for their service, it feels like we’re being taken for a ride.

You can obtain a complimentary phone number for receiving alerts from your ADT Alarm; however, be aware there’s a monthly fee of £1 for this service, and not all ADT systems support it. I've encountered a myriad of issues with ADT, leading to a whopping bill of over £3,000. Sky has kindly provided us with a detailed breakdown of our charges, and we are now aiming to send ADT over 480 pages of documentation. We sincerely hope this refund process doesn’t drag on for more than eight days, given that we've been dealing with this since the 6th of August 2010, which has been immensely frustrating. Has anyone found themselves in a situation that necessitated legal counsel?

I've noticed this number popping up repeatedly on my bill for nearly a year now-if I hadn't switched phone providers, I might never have even realised! It seems to crop up on my new line too. What’s odd is that these calls always come in at the crack of dawn, around 5:53 am, and last for a minute. Each one sets me back by 15 pence, which feels a bit suspicious!

You’ll need to persistently reach out to your nearby ADT branch until they sort out the paperwork for you. Ultimately, they will get it done, but I must say, the wait is rather nerve-wracking and can feel excruciatingly lengthy. Just keep at it, and don’t lose heart!

Hello there! My brother is experiencing the same predicament with this number. It seems to ring at precisely 4:16 every morning. We're beginning to suspect it might be connected to a burglar alarm of some sort. My brother has an ADT monitored system, do you happen to have one as well? If it's convenient, please drop us an email at [email protected]. Cheers!

Hello there! My brother/sister is experiencing the same problem with this number. It consistently calls at 4:16 AM without fail. We're starting to suspect it might be related to a burglar alarm, as my sibling has an ADT system that’s monitored. How about you? If you could drop us an email at [email protected], that would be brilliant! Cheers!

We've been receiving calls from 0844 8480809 at precisely 00:24 each night, and it's starting to feel rather bothersome, not to mention costly. We haven't the faintest idea who this number belongs to or what they want. Could anyone shed some light on this mystery for us?

Hi there, I stumbled across something rather peculiar while going through our Sky bill. We had an ADT alarm fitted on the 26th of March, and I've noticed there are 14 charges appearing between 10:04 and 12:03, totaling £2.27. Then, there’s an additional 24p charge on the 27th, followed by 14p charges on the 28th, 29th, and 30th as well. Has anyone reached out to ADT to clarify this? We seem to be at a bit of a loss, as these amounts are nowhere to be found in our agreement.

Absolutely, I've recently had an ADT alarm system installed, and ever since, I've noticed some unexpected fees piling up on my phone bill. I've reached out to both ADT and Virgin Media, and they're currently looking into the situation for me. I'm just waiting for a call back from ADT regarding these charges. It’s rather baffling why I should be responsible for them in the first place. I believe we ought to be supporting one another when it comes to these issues!

About five years back, after my home was broken into, I got an ADT alarm set up and agreed to a three-year deal with them. When 2013 came to a close, I felt I didn’t require the alarm anymore, so I ended the contract. Even though I ended things, ADT never came to take their gear away from my place. I reckon the system isn’t working anymore since it’s been switched off. Lately, I’ve spotted lots of calls going out from my landline to 08448480809, and my provider, Talk Talk, is billing me 26p each time. Problem is, I’ve never dialled that number myself. Could it be that the alarm’s still running in some way, despite my contract being cancelled? Talk Talk said they can’t do much about this. Any ideas? Ken

I neglected to point out their complimentary phone number that can be used to get in touch. However, as engineers, we’re required to use the standard 0871 or 0906 numbers during the setup. Nevertheless, I’ll need to follow up with my commitment to the department to secure an alternative option.

Greetings! We're experiencing a remarkably similar issue with our BT billing - this number has contacted us 87 times! Have you managed to pinpoint when this was linked to ADT? Oddly enough, I’ve also got an ADT alarm. I've reached out to BT for clarification, but they haven't been much help, I must say. At first, we assumed it might be linked to our internet provider. Once we gather more information on this, I’ll be sure to keep you updated. All the best!

I completely overlooked mentioning that there are indeed toll-free numbers available that can be utilized for communication. However, as part of the engineering team, we're required to set the standard numbers like 0871 and 0906 when we’re configuring the systems. Nevertheless, if someone calls our resolution department, we ought to direct them to the free options instead. Just a small detail I thought worth sharing!

Turns out, the daily calls I receive are from ADT doing their regular checks on my phone line. It's crucial for the system to alert ADT if there's ever a break-in! This setup sets me back 13p daily with BT. If anyone stumbles upon a service that offers a better deal, do share!

I reached out to ADT for clarification after noticing a staggering 94 calls on my bill, which totalled a hefty £13. To be honest, given the annual cost, I reckon I'd be wiser to just stick with a basic alarm system mounted on the wall instead.

I keep seeing charges for this service on my bill, even tho I never signed up for it. I usually just pay 25p per call, but somehow it ends up being about £9 to £12 extra every month. It’s meant to be for my ADT alarm too, but we already pay ADT a monthly fee, so why are they hitting us with more costs now? This just doesn’t seem right at all!

The 0800 numbers can be found for nearly every surveillance system out there. However, you can’t just reuse the same number for every setup, as some are tailored specifically for particular systems. For any technical assistance, you'll need to refer to the appropriate line.

Below is a snapshot from my most recent phone bill showing the number of calls, their durations, times, and charges linked to the number associated with ADT security when they do their line tests. I rang them last Friday, the 11th, to raise a complaint. In the end, I had to cancel my contract, but they insist on a three-month notice period. During that time, I’m stuck paying for every line test they perform. My phone bill is already way higher than it should be just because I’m being billed for something I never agreed to.

We’re in the same boat here! I had a look at the detailed billing for our Sky calls, and blimey, I’ve noticed daily calls adding up over the last 18 weeks. It appears we’re being billed at 14p per call, which is hitting around £4.20 each month. What’s rather frustrating is that we weren’t made aware that these charges would apply. Considering I’m already shelling out £30 a week just for the service, it all feels a tad excessive, don’t you think?

This number is what your alarm system calls to check if the signal is still active, letting ADT know if the alarm has gone off. Without this check, it’d be impossible to make sure the signalling is working properly.
