Probably the wrong forum but I couldn't think where else to put it!

Silent calls from an Ireland number - 00 353 872 620260

I've had a hunt on Google under various combinations with and without the country code, but to no avail.

Am getting incredibly fed up, it's half-a-dozen calls a day.

Any thoughts as to who it might be? Anyone know any common companies (utilities etc) with an Irish call centre?

ETA. We're registered with TPS etc; and caller ID isn't available on our Virgin phone where we live.

    TPS won't prevent cold calls from Eire.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Thanks - I knew that, I just thought I'd state that we're with TPS in case anybody suggested it.

    Obvious question: Have you tried phoning the number?

    It's a mobile number, so it could be that the owner does not know it's calling you.

    I had a mobile that kept phoning people when I put it in my pocket having forgotten to put the keypadlock on.

    Are the calls totally silent or can you hear background noises when they call?
  • Just had a missed call on my landline so rang 1471 to be informed I was called by '00'. That's it, just 00!! Anyone any ideas?

    Hey, there is a community-base website ie.tellows.net there everybody can post such spam numbers and leave comments.

    cheers, L.
