Hi,

My wife took a call at home from a man from ITV about a competition - he'd only speak to me so she gave him my work mobile no. Unfortunately I was in a meeting and the mobile was off. Switched it on to a txt from her and a missed call from 02011860000.

I've tried dialling the number but its not recognised. A quick google doesn't show it up either.

Does anyone know if:
1. The number is a genuine ITV one?
2. Given the comp entry had my house phone on it will they call me back on that or my mobile (and how often will they try) - problem is that we both work (it was just by chance it was her day off)
3. Is there any way of contacting them via another number / email address to get more information?

Thanks (and finger crossed)

    Should there is not be a 7 or 8 after the 020? Isn't London 0207 or 0208 dependent on inner or outer london? Maybe worth a shot. Just guessing though.
    Hope it's a fab win for you!

    Sorry missed a 0 out on the phone no. The number is accurate now - came up on the missed call log on my mobile.

    According to Saynoto0870 the 0201186 prefix is used by ITV as a replacement for their 0844 nos so it seems a genuine call.

    I'll do a 1471 when I get home tonight see if there's a real number on the landline - if not I'll give it a couple of days to see if they phone back.

    ....just wish I knew which comp it was

    A combination fridge freezer, but you haven't thanked the op, so I guess it can't be?

    Good luck.
