I do not recognise these numbers, and had to to unplug my phone to stop the repeated ringing- no one was on other end when I answered..

Do not ring the number back.It maybe the scam where you ring back and an automated voice says press 1 to speak to one of our operators or 5 to opt out from our calls.Once you press a button you get hammered with a big bill.

If i get repeated calls from an unknown number (that doesn't have my area code or anything like that), i ignore it and just stick it in Google.

9 times out of 10 it's an advertising thing.

An urban myth! There is NO way for such "reverse billing" to occur.

These are the call charges for all premium rate numbers, according to PhonePayPlus (ICTIS, as was);

If it is a scam/marketing/nuisance call then you can always check if it is listed here;

Seems you are not alone in receiving these calls, but no-one has yet identified the caller;

If you're with BT for instance you can block this number calling you.
