I have had calls from that number regarding an appointment being made though.And,which assessment centre does it come from because it is NOT the assessment centre i have attended because that 0121 number is from west bromwich,a million miles from me.Sorry but this is the ONLY number i knowingly have had ATOS calls from.

vvvvvvvvvvvv,

The phone system used in some sites is internet based, so is not part of the local telephone exchange, which is why the area code might be different.

Hi vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv,

I am not sticking up for Atos in any shape or form and am still waiting for them to answer my questions however I can confirm that with an "internet" phone number you can select area codes from any exchange in the UK and often other countries of the world too. You can see some of the numbers just one company lists at https://www.voiptalk.org/products/Incoming+Numbers. I'm sure there will be other companies offering similar services.

Is that so people can not identify your calls ?

There are that many The Atos Rep has not/will not answer, we might as well just chat between our self's

Just what is the point of atos having a PR rep on here, who only answers questions that you can easily find the answer too on there web site or In the forms that they send you.

Yes there have been a couple of questions were they have made something clear that we/the person who posted the question was not 100% sure of.

But then you have the Answers that are inaccurate.
Or dose not fit an answer that has been given to a similar question.

Besides that, The Rep only ever comes In for five minuets at a time. And then some days we don't see them at all !
(I do think they are reading most of the time. they are just not logged In, Atos are keeping an I on us)

It's pretty much along the same lines as Skype. The calls are transmitted over the internet until they arrive at your local exchange where they are connected to your phone displaying the number that the company has chosen to use.
