Right of reply from Vonage:

Hello. Our company, both in the UK and US have been receiving calls with regards to nuisance calls from the number 091148. The number is actually an agency that Vonage used back in 2008 for outbound calling, but hasn't worked with since.

Back to the original post....

I have had several silent calls from this number in the last 5 days. After checking other sites I came up with this information, as it appears people all over the UK are receiving calls from them. When they actually speak to you it is usually an Asian caller, and they have your name and email address before you start!

This number is from a company called Vonage.
UK address 2 Temple Back East, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6EG.
Contact numbers are:- 0800 008 6000/0207 993 9000.

If they call you from their 091148 number ask them to remove your number from their calling list immediately. They will ask you for your other details to do this, but tell them that legally they do not require them.
They will also try to tell you it takes up to 30 days for your number to be withdrawn - another load of twaddle. Tell them that if you receive another call from them within the next 30 days you will speak to their manager, and that if this does not resolve the issue you will be contacting your solicitor as what they are doing is classed as harassment.
You'll be surprised how quickly they'll help you!
