my phone number in norfolk is often ending up in scotland!!

hello,

wonder if you can help, had a call today from a guy that lives in scotland and over the last two-three weeks he has taken lots of calls (approx 20) of people asking to speak to me - we run a small business from home and have had some leaflets being delivered in our local area offering our services, now it would seem all the callers are calling the correct number on the leaflets (my number) but it would appear they are sometimes being connected to the scottish number, the numbers are NOT similar at all - any ideas??

If these are not misdials, then the next thing to check (from the person receiving the calls) is to ask what network they are using to complete the call. There may be an erroneous lookup table that is sending calls northwards, but until you find the common link, you're not going to be able to pin this down.

thanks buzby, he is on the sky network, i ahve asked him to give al the callers my mobi number so that they can still contact me and then I can try and find out a common denomiator - bt are also investigating (apparently!)
Thanks
