08717111224

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

Our establishment operates strictly from 9:00 to 17:30, yet we’ve been receiving calls to this number at an unearthly hour of 00:45 on the 15th of each month for the past three months. Quite peculiar, wouldn’t you agree?

I wanted to bring to your attention that our Nursery operates from 8 in the morning until 6 in the evening. However, we've noticed an erroneous charge of £14.88 for a phone call made on the evening of the 6th of June 2019 at 9:53 PM. As our Nursery was shut at that hour, this charge seems quite unfounded.

I've just noticed my bill has suddenly skyrocketed after a call lasting a mere 1 minute and 30 seconds to this number-one that I absolutely didn’t make! What are my options here?

I've just looked over my latest bill and noticed it's much higher than usual, thanks to numerous calls from this number - some of which lasted over an hour! Can anyone shed light on who's accountable for these charges?

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

Earlier this morning, we got a ring from this specific number, so we've chosen to share our experience here.

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 been billed twice for an amount that’s significantly higher than normal, and it appears that this number keeps popping up. It’s really draining my finances!

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've just got my latest bill, and it's twice as high as normal! This number has been ringing me constantly, with some calls lasting over ten minutes - really frustrating! I believed this was just about updating my chip and pin terminal, so why on earth am I being charged so much, especially when I already pay a rental fee? Quite displeased, to say the least!

Just a heads up, this number is used by your card reader to perform software updates and verify its security features, especially since it deals with financial transactions. It will continuously ring until the necessary updates are completed.

I’ve never had a chat with this number, yet it always seems to appear on my bill without fail!

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’ve noticed this number showing up on my invoice during hours when my shop is shut and there’s nobody around. Yet, I’m still expected to cover the cost?

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

If you've got a business phone but wish to avoid receiving calls during the night, simply disconnect your chip and PIN card reader after hours. Just be mindful that doing this will also mean you won't be able to process any card transactions while it's unplugged...

I found this number listed on a customer's invoice. Would anyone be able to assist in figuring out which company it belongs to? Cheers!

I've been receiving numerous calls on this number and I haven't a clue who's behind them. Is there any way to prevent these calls from coming through?

I've noticed on my bill that there are five calls, each lasting about a minute, that came through at the rather unsociable hour of 1:48 AM. The phone provider insists that I need to pay for these calls since they were made from my business line. However, we were not operational at that time!

It seems I've mistakenly dialled this number on three different occasions: once at 23:38 for about four minutes, later at 23:43 for three minutes, and again on 19th November 2013 at 23:26 for another three minutes. However, this is an office line, and I have no recollection of making those calls. Clearly, there's a mix-up with my TalkTalk account details.
