09825230523

i was informed by o2 that i had charges for this call

This is a scam. Please do not answer any calls from this number. You will be charged to answer the call and o2 will not refund your money.

Had same prob 17 seconds I answered for on sat night o2 charge was 1.70 got a refund and asked them to forward it onto there fraud team or inform police. Well annoyed!

Same here, 09825230523 and been charged £3.70 by O2.
Calling them as it amzing how we are all O2 customers.  Someone from there must be giving our numbers out.

I was browsing the internet with my iphone and then my phone started dialling this number.   I hadn't even typed this number in

This number started being called on my iPhone without being prompted/typed in.

I am trying to get O2 to sort this out and look into this so that it doesn't happen again.

Question, are the people whos phones start dialling this number JailBroken?  If so, have they changed default SSH password?

My iphone recently attempted to call this number for no reason.  I've had this problem before so I've had all premium rate numbers barred.

I highly recommend you call o2 and get all premium rate numbers barred from being made from your phones.

ps my phone is not jailbroken.

I accidentally hit an ad (the ad was by admob) whilst browsing an app on my iphone and it started dialling the number. Not sure how much it has cost me yet! :o(

My phone is not jailbroken.

I was called twice today on my 3Gs iphone which answered the calls automatically. Have applied a Premium bar via O2

HAPPENED TO ME TOO - APPARENTLY I WAS ON FOR 5 SECS AND it cost 1.70.

The guy from O2 didn't know anything about it. will be calling them asap and getting that removed from my bill!!

I too have been charged £2.00 exactly for this call which i defo have not made. I contacted o2 and they said i HAD made a call to that premium number. I was only with o2 for about 18 hours and am not impressed. Next step ..... BBC Watchdog !! Please contact me at rswhitworth@sky.com and i will see what the BBC can do about this.

this happened when i accidentally tapped an app... oopsy! :/ thought it was someone calling me but realised it's on my outgoing.. think it's something to do with phoning up for your horoscopes cause that's the last ad i remember seeing on the app. the sneaky buggars...

I just had this happen to me when playing the BubbleWrap app. Binned that one immediately on finding this thread.

I had the exact same thing terry...luckily i was at work in a building with no signal and the call failed.

Had the same thing with Bubble Wrap. Have reported via the app store and will be calling o2.

Just spotted these on my daighters bill - she has an iPhone.
How do you get premium numbers barred?

hi Jann,
it I believe it depends on who your provider is (Vodafone allow you to bar them but you may have to be persistent with their customer service people). You will have to call them.

We all have iphones thats why its all o2 and this is actually built in as an advert on an application the bubble wrap one specifically and if you click it you start dialing the number really annoying but not o2's fault
