08456006156 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08456006156 👆 is reported as a BT Business billing number often linked to expensive premium rate charges causing frustration and surprise. Many callers complain of being kept on hold for long periods, leading to costly phone bills sometimes exceeding £40. Some say they called thinking it was a normal BT contact but were not warned about call costs. Several messages mention scam calls impersonating BT, with letters and calls demanding payment for dubious invoices. Others claim genuine BT issues yet find the 0845 number misleading since BT also offers free helplines. Reports of calls being transferred overseas, aggressive callers, and even calls with inappropriate content have been noted. Overall, it's viewed as a costly, confusing, and potentially risky number to engage with without caution.

I was told to ring this number by BT in an email about a problem with my bill. Didn’t realise it was a premium rate line and ended up being charged over £35 plus VAT for the call. Proper annoyed about that!

I got a call from a BT number about an urgent payment I had to make, then needed some help sorting out my account to combine my broadband and phone services. The first caller transferred me to this number to sort it out, so I never actually dialled it myself. Then I got charged £36 for a 43-minute call! I’m definitely going to complain because it’s not right at all, especially since nobody said I’d be paying for this!

I received a rather concerning call from an Indian woman claiming to represent BT, using the number 0800 8766267. She insisted that our company’s invoice was overdue and threatened that our phone lines would be disconnected by morning if we didn’t settle the matter promptly. When I mentioned that our accountant was unavailable, she provided me with a different number-0845 6006156-to ring back and clear the outstanding balance. I couldn’t help but wonder why the callback number was completely different. She explained that she was making outbound calls and that the number she gave was specifically for incoming calls. This raised my suspicions, so I decided to look it up, and thankfully, I discovered that it was indeed a SCAM. Steer clear of this one at all costs!

A mate of mine just got charged £39.72 by his EE mobile provider, which is absolutely scandalous. It’s hard to believe that this particular number has been flagged a staggering 22,000 times as a dodgy scammer pretending to be from BT business broadband. It’s high time this number was switched off altogether! Honestly, it’s about time all telecom companies stepped up to safeguard their customers instead of raking in profits from all this nonsense.

My dad got this letter that looked proper official from BT saying he owed £102.96 for some charity he was helping out with like 5 years ago. The letter told him to ring 0845 600 6156 to sort payment. There was a QR code but when we scanned it, it was just a bunch of random numbers. Luckily, he never phoned that number. It’s a scam, DO NOT RING that number!

My dad recently got what appeared to be a proper letter from BT, claiming that he owes £102.96 to a charity he was connected with about five years ago. They instructed him to ring 0845 600 6156 to settle it. To add to the oddity, when he scanned the QR code on the letter, it simply yielded a sequence of numbers instead of any useful information. Thankfully, he didn't go ahead and call that number. It's definitely a scam, so steer clear of it!

0800 876 6267 called me at 14:12 on 10/8/22. The person was polite and said his name was Partha from BT billing. He claimed there was an unpaid bill from 5 July for £1,257.77. He also mentioned a business connected to the one I’m involved with. I didn’t recognise the partial account number he gave and he couldn’t tell me which building it was for, so I said I’d look into it and call back. He gave me a number 0845 600 6156 but I found that it’s not listed on BT’s official contact page. So I’m not planning to ring Partha back.

I received an email purportedly from BT, requesting payment for a bill but it contained inaccurate information regarding my account. Curiously, when I searched for the number 0845 600 6156 they provided, it turned out to be linked to Hackney Carpet Centre. This has made it quite clear that it’s a complete scam and very much a cause for concern!

I recently received a letter from BT claiming I had signed up for web hosting, which I most certainly did not. They demanded a payment of £75.25, threatening that it would increase daily if I failed to comply. Attempting to reach out via their provided email was futile as it bounced back almost instantly, prompting me to erase it posthaste. So, I rang BT directly, and they confirmed it sounded very much like a scam; they advised against handing over any cash to those chancers. As a precaution, I entered the phone number into a reverse search tool and, lo and behold, it flagged up as fraudulent, just as I'd suspected. Thankfully, I’ve dodged this con, since I’ve not forked out any dosh!

Utterly annoyed. This is the BT number they put on your bill for billing questions. We ended up paying £10.00 just to complain after they randomly charged us for two broadband lines for business, when we only have a single one. Why on earth do we need to pay for this call when it’s their mistake?

I decided to ring the number provided in the BT letter, which happened to be an 0845 number. To my surprise, I was slapped with a £7 charge from O2! However, on a curious note, my bank did receive the £84 credit. It’s all rather perplexing, to say the least!

This number was on my bill, so I called it out of curiosity. They made me wait on hold for about 20 minutes and then slapped me with a £5.14 charge. It's so frustrating, but honestly, that's typical of BT nowadays - they never stick to their own terms and then hit you with absurd early exit fees. Really pleased we've shut all our accounts with them and have no plans to return.

08456006156 I discovered this number on an official BT site while attempting to lodge a complaint-turns out it was quite the authentic one. The process was thorough, albeit rather drawn out, and I did eventually get a “full refund” which my bank has confirmed was credited after a few days. One might say it was my oversight for not realising it was an 0845 number-I should have opted for the free 0800 800156 instead. This little slip-up ended up costing me £13.52 for a call that lasted 40 minutes. Shame on you, BT, for even listing the 0845 number on your site! Rest assured, I’ll be raising another complaint, but this time I’ll stick to the 0800 number!

If we don’t settle our BT bill, they’re threatening to send round the bailiffs. The billing is all over the place, not even in the usual month and year format. Plus, they’ve used an 0845 number instead of the typical 0800. There’s no customer reference number anywhere to be seen. And the address layout is nothing like a standard BT invoice. It’s quite unfortunate, really, as I can see someone getting caught out by this.

This number belongs to BT’s business support. I was surprised to find more than £10 in fees for just two calls when we first set up our BT business line. I reached out to BT via their live chat, raised a complaint, and they refunded the amount. What they don’t mention is there’s a free number 08001693090. I told them to make sure customers are clearly informed about any call charges.

I've just noticed a charge of £27.44 on my Vodafone bill for a rather lengthy 39-minute call to 08456006165. To be honest, I can't recall even making that call! Would it be advisable to lodge a complaint with BT regarding this matter?

I was having a gander at the BT phone bill and stumbled upon a couple of peculiar entries. I can say with absolute certainty that we would never have complied with any request involving button pressing. To illustrate: - 0845 Calls on Thursday, 11th March at 13:36 - there’s a charge for '08456006156 Service' lasting 50 minutes and 35 seconds racking up a hefty £6.79. - And earlier that day, at 08:20, there’s another entry for the same number with a much shorter call of just 2 minutes and 8 seconds, adding an extra £0.45 (not including VAT). These charges just don’t add up!

Unlike what others are saying, this isn’t BT at all. It’s just a scam trying to trick you into handing over your bank info on the phone. I rang BT’s business and home services myself and they told me I don’t owe anything on any accounts.

I got a call from O2 08456006156, not exactly sure who was on the other end but it ended up costing me £17.31 and then another £8.04. How come they charge that much when the call only lasted a bit over 30 mins?

I’ve just had a gander at my recent Three phone bill, and blimey, it’s higher than expected. I’ve apparently been charged a whopping £11.28 for an 18-minute call that was meant to redirect a BT landline to a mobile. I’m absolutely flabbergasted! How on earth did that happen? 😟

This number is a complete ripoff from BT. Got in touch because they kept sending a £9.45 credit invoice every month for a business that closed down 3 years ago. Figured I was helping them out - what a waste of my time and effort though. In the end, it cost me £8.53 just for dealing with their nonsense. No surprise I was left on hold for 17 minutes! Proper rubbish BT Business folks!

This number belongs to BT Business. I had to get in touch with them about being charged too much, which they admitted and refunded me. But, calls from my BT cloud phone to 0845 numbers were blocked, so I had to use my mobile to phone them. What really annoyed me was not expecting a 50 minute call to sort the overcharging issue to come to £31. Avoid calling 0845 numbers! If you need to reach BT, use this FREE line instead - 0800 800152.

Purportedly from BT, I received a rather alarming call today from someone named Saogat, who insisted it was crucial for me to make a payment promptly. They provided a callback number-08456006156-after pressing me for immediate action. However, when I requested some form of verification, they abruptly terminated the call. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

08456006156 Like many, I phoned BT to dispute a wrong and high charge. Ended up on hold forever and got bounced around to loads of different departments. I finally got my £18 back, but a month later I saw the call to sort things out cost me £28! That’s after they’d been charging me crazy amounts for my broadband, even though my contract ended two years ago. It wasn’t just a small difference, it was more than double. I’m never dealing with BT again, no chance.

BT told me to call this number to fix a mistake on my bill, since our landline isn’t with BT anymore. I phoned from my mobile, but then got my mobile bill and they charged me £12.49 for a 17 minute call, when I was just telling them not to charge me at all - which they agreed to. BT should not be making customers call pricey numbers, especially when you’re stuck waiting ages on the phone.

I got a couple of letters, the second one said my payment was late. The company name was on the top but the address was my personal one. The first notice was an email that ended up in my spam folder, the next came by post. The invoice number on the account was wrong. The letter had printing on the back too, which felt a bit off. Luckily, someone mentioned this site to me so I could verify it. I’m planning to report it to the Police alerts.
