    I have been called from 08452 716041 around ten times in the last month, with no message left on the machine. Can anyone identify this number? My home phone is ex-directory and TPS registered; I have passed dates & times to the ICO because this smells like telemarketing to me.

    Any help appreciated.

    No idea, I'm afraid. I tried Goolging it for you but the only result shown was your posting here on MSE. Can you get the number barred, filtered or traced somehow?

    Sorry folks, false alarm, the calls were from a company I know. I assumed (never a good idea) that this was telemarketing because it was an 0845 number, the number of calls received and the fact that they didn't leave a message. Doh.

    Thanks anyway,
    Tyr.

    I hope it's not an idividual as you have now placed that number all over the internet.

    Just correctly formatting number, should anyone else search on the number.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    if you get calls from cold callers just put the phone down, i never say anything in case they are charging ME for the phone call.
