had a call from o8oo5875290 @ 7 09am   thursday 4th december 2014. please identify

please stop calling from this number, you are calling me in error.

i just got a call from this number.08005875290..not happy calling on 7dec on sunday morning .at 7.10am
phoned it back to give a piece of my mind..and got a bt ans mesg.

This number calls all the time and has just woken me up on a Sunday morning, my only lay in. How can I stop it?

Called this morning saying there was a parcel to collect and asking to Press 1 to hear the text.   My partner did so, (foolishly), and started to get another long garbled message - she hung up.   Is this a scam whereby phoning back incurs massive phone charges??

Called at 9:02am - no one there

i am gettting calls from this number at night 1 and 2 oclock when you pick the phone up there is no one there

Keep getting calls from 08005875290 at all hours for the past 3 days, managed to answer the call today but no 1 was there and without knowing who the caller is there is no way i'm calling the number back

It appears to be a from your Service Provider.        Call 0800 587 5252 to change the settings if you do not want that service.

Thank you so much for this information, really clearly and succinctly put, very helpful!

As others have said, this is somebody leaving an SMS message on your landline. The timing of the first call is the 'fault' of the sender. If you don't pick that up then the system will try again the next time your phone is used eg if you do a 1471. This is where the excessive calls comes in. The phone rings and is ignored, then a 1471 is done, then the system tries again and the phone is ignored etc

It can take as long as 10 seconds for it to 'connect' and the line sounds dead - hang in there. As soon as you've listened to the message the system will stop trying to get hold of you but you DO need to wait for the message to 'kick in'.

Many of these SMS's are people thinking they're sending a text to someone's mobile as many contacts on a mobile phone list both mobile and line number and the sender selected the wrong one!!

I think it's quite genuine. It';s the BT text to voice service when someone has sent you a text but accidently sent it to your landline.

To stop the text from bt call 0800 5875252 choose option 1 and then option 5. This is the SMS options line. You can also tell it to stop them during the night or permanently.

What are these calls about.

08005875290 ringing in early morning then no one there

6.0 a.m. Christmas morning!!!  Looks as though it was an SMS text from BT.    Don't know what is going on, or why!

You will find previous posts very helpful.        The message comes to your phone whenever it is sent.    Do not shoot the messenger.     Aim at the sender.

Keep getting calls from this number
