Phone number ☎️ 17070 👆 is reported as a number linked to Openreach and BT’s line test facilities. Users mention it’s typically used by customers to test their own lines rather than for receiving calls. Several warn of scam calls impersonating this number with automated messages about suspicious bank withdrawals or broadband termination threats, advising to hang up. Genuine test calls from BT engineers appear rare, and important contact would usually come via email or the BT app. Some find the repeated calls annoying with no messages left. The number can be dialled to access safe line testing features like ring-back, but calls claiming urgent action on accounts are likely fraud.

1 yearYou can use Openreach's line test service, which won’t cost you anything to ring up if you’re calling from a landline or even a payphone.Openreach3 yearsGot a call from 17070 today. An automated message telling me there were two withdrawals from my bank, one for £300 and another for £1000, supposedly for Amazon this morning. It said to press 1 if I wanted to authorise or 2 to cancel. Total scam, just ignore it and hang up straight away!AmazonBest3 yearsI just got a call from what sounded like a BT line test service.4 yearsJust called a number from BT to check if it was working, quite helpful to have a test call number like that.BT5 yearsOn 26/08/21 around 1pm, I noticed a call from 17070 on my landline but chose not to pick up. I reckon it might be a dodgy scam. From what I found online, this number is meant to be a BT test line, but I always thought that was for customers to make outgoing test calls, not for BT staff to ring you. My internet and phone have been working fine with no issues. Throughout my time with BT, I’ve never gotten a test call like this before, so I’m happy I didn’t answer. If it’s something genuine and important, they’ll probably get in touch with me through email or the BT app anyway.BT7 yearsSo, this number is for Openreach engineers to do test calls - you usually won't get any calls from it. But if you give it a ring, it lets you do a few line tests yourself, like checking the ring-back and silent line to see if everything's alright with your connection. Just a heads up, when you use the ring-back test, they'll call you back on an 0800 number. Don't worry, it's completely legit and safe.Openreach8 yearsGot a call from an automated message claiming to be from my broadband provider, threatening to cut off my service today. It asked me to press 1 to continue or 2 to cancel. I just ended the call straight away.10 yearsThis number keeps ringing repeatedly without leaving a message; it’s rather annoying!Submit Your Own Report (17070)
