Similar thing happened to me. It turned out my aunty had bought a new mobile, programmed my phone no. then accidentally pressed it without realising. A messaging service kept alerting me without my aunty realising that her phone was trying to contact me. In the end I found out what phone company it was and they sorted it out (my phone company couldnt do anything about it without blocking the no.). Has anyone you know recently bought a new phone?

Answer the call at tell them to **** off.
Apparently they are calling 'on behalf' (I am really missing the sarcastic smiley) of O2 and will try to sell you some contract.

It's a known telemarketing pest. Ignore, or if your phone is a smartphone you can probably download an app to block specific numbers.

Even many years ago many phones had 'white' and/or 'black' list option. Don't know about the modern phones. They may have loads of rubbish and no space left for really useful stuff.

I love my smartphone. But not as a phone. Definitely agree the older models do a better job just as a phone. But I love google maps and barcode scanning and angry birds and loads of other apps. I carry both.

hiding from a violent ex husband so dont answer anything, unless i know who they are.

will ignore it from now on and hope they give up, but do they ever. my network is o2 anyway, so they clearly dont know that!!!!

Another "S" annoys LBM for a nice change:
After missing a number of calls from 0800 0641087 I finally managed to answer a call from these people saying they are calling on behalf of O2 regarding my contract. I pointed out I have nothing to do with O2 (seeing as i'm with T-Mobile) and quoted the data protection act to have my details removed from their systems and receive no further calls. A very grumpy "fine" from the gentleman and the other end and then he hung up. So lets see if i get any further calls.

R" gets a call from what appears to be LBM on behalf of O2:
I received a suspect and very pushy call today from an otherwise
charming-sounding Irish guy. I declined to commit to any of o2's
'money-saving offers' and googled the source phone number's dialling and
local codes with the word 'o2'. I was glad to find a resource such as your
site with details of how to unsubscribe from the company's calling list.

Businesses such as this direct marketing company really are a drain on the
economy! N.B. The particular number was 0800 064 1087. Thanks!

OP, you mention you are hiding from a violent ex, have you tried maybe getting a heavy voiced man answer with "Police (omit to the title which suits) headquaters how can I help?" and seeing what happens. Then ending with "if you call this number again immediate legal action will be taken and you could risk a court appearance and later criminal record for harassment". I know pretending to be a police person is not allowed but its what I would do right or wrong!

If I get a number call me I just put the number into google then call them back and tell them not to call me again or I will take further action. Normally works. I live in London, public transport and very nasty people are everywhere and really can upset and wind me up, I normally make these calls when I am home early enough, I pitty the person on the end of the phone even if they have been making repeated harassment silent calls!
