    I received a call from this number also it leaves an SMS message, very garbled and unintelligible. I worked out from some of the numbers I could hear that it is from Hermes re a Boots.com delivery due today. Hope that helps everyone wondering who the call is from.

    If you read the thread your see its a Landline Text Delivery number.Its normally triggered when a text is sent to a landline.The Text could be from anybody not just Hermes.

    I also had a call just now from 0800-5875290 suggesting I have an SMS message waiting on 084...........etc., so 'Press 1 to listen .. etc'. I just put the phone down; there are enough scams out there to bankrupt us all.

    But, wait a minute, I now hear folks saying it is from BT, but I am not a BT customer !

    What's going on ?
