Just looked at my mobile and have a missed call at 20.10 from 08001691608. Googled it and says its from BT. I called back and says its bt and they tried to call but there was no answer.

Anybody else had any calls from this number?
I don't think there are any bt comps running?
Just wondering what it's for and why they are call past 8pm in the evening...

I reckon it's just telesales or offering you upgrades/extras... sorry!

WTCs tend (not always) to happen between usual 9-5 hours as it's the PR/Marketing team that handle it.

Hopefully you will have your win soon :j
