The only thing i can tell you is

Code:01730 26 and 01730 81 Area:Petersfield

Locality:Petersfield, Hampshire

Operator:British Telecom

Tariff Band:National (inc VAT)Service:Geographic


If they become more persistent you can seek advice from the Nuisance Call Bureau during office hours, on 0800 661 441.

here's a laugh....the BT Nuisance Call Line told me that they didn't have any interest as I wasn't a BT customer and to talk to Tiscali.

I talked to Tiscali whose Indian helpline was so efficient that the guy went away to find the answer for 5 minutes 12 seconds. Then he told me to turn down the volume on the handset so it didn't ring or to take the phone off the hook.

Don't quite know what to do now.

I don't understand. You have a Tiscali landline but complained to BT about nuisance calls you're receiving on it?

That's like complaining to Cadburys when a bar of Lindt chocolate is not to your liking.

I complained to BT as the post above says that both numbers are BT lines: i used reverse complaining! They couldn't do anything though.

A new take on this: another local 01730 number rang this morning at 1.45am. It connected then sounds like the other one - a bad connection with crackiling and rustling. What is happening.....any ideas??

By what you describe it could be a fax machine.

Hi there,

I know I'm bumping an old thread and apologise for doing so.

I am the owner of the above website and just want to stress that this number has nothing to do with me.

I have no idea how google picked up on it, but it might have been because of something that was hotlinked by one of our members. Anyway, it doesn't appear in Google's cache any longer, but I just wanted to address any concerns people had.

Thanks

Hi all! Just heard back from Tiscali today after a long week of swapping e-mails about nuisance calls. They just say report it to the Police - is this normal in anyone's experience?
