08717111224 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08717111224 👆 is reported as a number frequently linked to calls made automatically by chip and PIN card payment machines, often during early hours, to update software or check transactions. Many businesses, including those closed at the time, have been unexpectedly charged substantial amounts for these calls, causing concern and disputes over refunds. Users advise unplugging terminals overnight to prevent charges, though this may disrupt payment processing. Phone providers and card machine suppliers often provide limited explanation, leaving users uncertain about the legitimacy and necessity of the calls. Charges can appear on both business and domestic lines, with multiple calls causing increased phone bills. Customers seeking clarity or refunds should contact their payment machine provider promptly and monitor billing closely.

So, I just checked my phone bill and noticed that this number, along with one very close to it, had been called. I reckon it’s because of my Spire card reader, which seems to update itself without me knowing. I’ve already dropped an email to Handepay, the company that supplied it, asking what’s going on. The bill shows a call to the 224 number lasting 47 minutes and 9 seconds, which set me back £16.91 - all for an update, apparently. I’m hoping they’ll sort a refund for this. I’ll post an update when I hear back. 08717111224

So, basically at around 10.38pm on 13th June, when my card machine came online, I noticed an odd charge for £22.38 from 0871 711 1224. Seems like some sneaky billing scam trying to settle a payment credit or something. Quite suspicious if you ask me!

I wasn’t even near my phone, it wasn’t even switched on, but somehow I got billed for calls from this number and 08717111223. Feels like a total scam to me.

I reported my credit card to Paymentsense like twice because there was some dodgy activity, but they just keep taking money off me. It's a total rip-off. We haven’t even used the card machine while on furlough! Feels like they’re just scamming us.

Our company operates strictly from 9am to 5:30pm, yet we've been getting calls to this number around 12:45am on the 15th of every month for the past three months. It's been happening regularly, which is pretty odd given our usual hours.

Was charged £19.30 for making three calls to this number way early in the morning. Turns out it was my card machine from Payment Sense doing a software update. I’ll be ringing them first thing tomorrow to sort a refund out, this is ridiculous. They shouldn’t be charging a business for something like a routine update, feels like a sneaky extra fee. Never gave them my okay for this - feels a bit dodgy and could even be illegal.

Seems like my card reader tried calling this number a few times back in March. The worst part was the last call, which happened around 1am! Keep in mind their country was on lockdown then too. It ended up costing me £14.99 which is just ridiculous. I've already emailed First Data and Payment Sense, explaining this isn’t a proper number and it's causing my business extra costs. Hoping they’ll refund me soon because this is really not on.

Our nursery operates from 8 in the morning until 6 in the evening. However, we found a charge on our bill for a phone call made at 9:53 pm on 06/06/2019, which cost £14.88. The nursery was definitely shut by then.

I’ve just been charged twice for a call lasting 1 minute 30 seconds from this number, and the thing is, I never even dialled it! Does anyone know how I can sort this out?

This number is tied to a card payment terminal. I use a Spire payment machine, and it’s the terminal calling this number automatically to update itself. Not sure why they never told me about it. I even got in touch with my phone provider to block outgoing calls from it. When I spoke to Spire about it, they offered a refund but I’m still not sure I feel comfortable. I’ll wait and see what the bill looks like next month.

No idea who this number belongs to, I've tried looking it up but come up blank every time.

Honestly, nobody seems to understand what this number actually does. Even when I called my phone provider, their customer service couldn't explain why calling this number costs money. They told me I supposedly spent an hour chatting with someone after dialling it? That’s just mad.

Got my bill today and it's way higher than normal. This number kept calling me over and over, and some of the calls lasted over an hour! Does anyone know who's meant to sort this out?

This number is probably one that your chip and pin or card machine rings up to do updates. That’s why you often see calls coming in at weird hours, like really early in the morning.

This number has been troubling us by ringing our fax line since December 27, 2009, racking up around five calls a day. There were four more calls the day after, and then again on the 29th, with yet another call on the 30th-right at 00:18 each time, no less. It’s quite frustrating that we’re being billed for these pesky calls! Our company is on an annual plan, valid from December 24 to January 4, 2010, which means everything, including our fax machine, should be powered down. We’ve reached out to Opal (TalkTalk) regarding these unwanted calls, yet the charges remain. Best regards, Alan Turner Managing Director N8C6

I never even dialled this number 1, yet ended up paying £16.89 for two calls! This is ridiculous.

I've been hit with charges from these calls for more than a year. I originally thought it was some sort of support line for my system, but it seems these calls have been coming through even during holidays when no one is around! Can anyone shed light on what or who this might be? And more importantly, what steps can I take to sort this out? I could really use some assistance here!

for about five days running, this number kept showing up on our phone bill, ringing us like six times every single day and costing us 32p per call. we never answered or even knew about these calls, and honestly, feels like some kinda scam to me!

It seems to be from Hypercom. Just wondering, do you have a chip and PIN device that undergoes overnight updates?

I've settled the payment for these rings more than a year back, thinking this was a support line for my system. But it appears there's been activity even on holidays when the person isn't here! Can anyone clarify who or what this is? I'm in need of some assistance!

I just got my phone bill and it’s nearly twice what I normally pay, all because of calls from this number. They've rung quite a few times, some calls lasted over 10 minutes. Not thrilled one bit. They said it was for a chip and pin terminal update, but why am I getting charged a fortune when I already pay rental fees? Doesn't make sense.

Just to let you know, this number gets called by your card machine when it needs to update its software and run security checks while handling payments. You'll hear it ringing continuously until the update is finished.

We're receiving calls from this number on our phone provider's account rather frequently. I've reached out to BT, but they haven't been much help in providing any specific information. The strange thing is, these calls seem to be originating from secured retail locations around 4 in the morning and are now showing up on residential lines nearly 30 miles away on completely different area codes. The calls are quite brief, lasting anywhere from 9 to 140 seconds, and they seem to be linked to some kind of data transmission or electronic communication, though it’s hard to say for sure. While the financial impact isn't severe, it's incredibly exasperating given that we've ruled out any possibilities linked to alarm systems, credit banking, or similar services, as we don't utilise those on our domestic lines. If anyone has any insights or advice to offer about this situation, please do leave a comment here. Much appreciated in advance!

I noticed this number appeared on a customer's invoice. Could anyone assist in identifying the contact, please?

If you run a business and want to avoid getting calls during the evening, just disconnect your chip and pin card reader overnight. Obviously, this means you won't be accepting card payments after hours, but it’s a way to keep those calls from coming through late at night.

yeah i can see on my bill 5 calls all about a minute each around 1.48 in the morning. i told my phone provider but they say i gotta pay since i apparently made the calls myself, even though its a work number and we were shut at that time.

So, this number supposedly got called by me 3 times around 23:38 for about 4 minutes and then again at 23:43 for 3 minutes on 10/11/2013, plus once more at 23:26 for 3 minutes on 19/11/2013. Thing is, it's a business line and none of those calls actually happened. Clearly, the info from TalkTalk is incorrect.
