Reports on phone number 118888
5 yearsI've noticed that £20 has vanished after just two calls costing £10 apiece. It seems like they’re sifting through your mobile balance. Just thought I’d give you all a heads-up!7 yearsI rang 118888 on 19th April 2019 and the call lasted about 2 minutes 38 seconds, from mainland UK. Then, on my phone bill dated 23rd April 2019, I spotted a charge of £17.70 for that call. It’s ridiculous how expensive it was, especially since there was no clear info beforehand about how much it would cost. That works out at about 11p per second or £6.74 per minute - total daylight robbery if you ask me!7 yearsTotally overpriced - I got billed £10.26 for a call that barely lasted 1 minute and 44 seconds. Complete scam if you ask me!7 yearsAvoid calling 118 888, it’s a total rip off!8 yearsI’ve been caught out by this dodgy number, and it's infuriating! Vodafone still charged me nearly ten quid for a brief 17-second call, despite the fact that I never even rang the number. What a rip-off!Vodafone8 yearsI've noticed a charge of £37.06 on my BT statement for a 7-minute call to 118888, allegedly placed at 11:31 on April 25th. Frankly, I’m quite sure I didn’t make this call at all.8 yearsGot hit with a £50.34 bill for just 5 minutes on the phone. Absolutely shocking!9 yearsI'm based in Hawaii, specifically on Oahu, and I seem to be getting calls from this number at least weekly, sometimes even more frequently on my mobile.

Cheers for sharing your experiences; it's sure to help others dodge a financial and mental hassle!HawaiiOahu9 yearsJust 44 seconds and it drained £6.25 from me! Ridiculous.11 yearsAs I was reviewing my latest bill, I noticed a call to 118 888 was logged during lunchtime on a Monday. Truth be told, I've hardly ever dialled this number, and to add to my bewilderment, I’m at work all day on a Monday! It’s a bit troubling, to say the least!11 yearsI just received a rather brief call lasting only three minutes from this number, and it ended up costing me £8! I'm quite baffled as to what this number pertains to. Does anyone have a clue?12 yearsAbsolutely devastated, I dialled 118888 when I was feeling quite unwell, only to be slapped with a staggering charge of £72!
