    nope not a scam, you get it when you have no signal and someone calls you but doesn't leave a voice mail.

    i get them from t-mobile as well

    suppose you could loosely call it a scam from t-mobile to get you to make some more calls ;)

    The first number is from Inner London (020 7xxx xxxx), Whitehall, maybe, and the second from "Medway (Strood/Rochester/Chatham/Gillingham/Rainham), Kent" (01634 xxxxxx).

    Does one or other number ring any bells? ( :rotfl: !)

    0207 is inner London, but Whitehall (where I work) is all 0207 2** ****, certainly all the bits I call start like that. the geographic area for 0207 is quite large.
