07005104607 just called on my comping phone - after a quick search it brings me to think that they try to get you to call them back at extortionate rates!!

    thanks for that, i had a call this afternoon, and called back, i only glanced quick and thought it was for work, but it was from this number, i called back but it just rung and rung which i thought was odd, hope i don't get charged as it was on the work phone.

    Think you should be ok as long as they didn't answer. I normally ring straight back - so glad I didn't this time! Check the call charges
    Call charges when dialing an 07005 9 number are charged at "K" RATE - 37.5PPM/25PPM/12.5PPM Peak/Eve/Weekends from a BT Landline. Call costs from mobiles vary from operator to operator.
