Question about Fanta competition

I've missed 3 phone calls from a number starting with (0782*******) - however when I checked 'missed' calls the last 3 digits of the number are always different??

When Fanta call do they hide their number or what?

Thanks

    When they called me it was a private number, hope that helps!

    I've had an annoying call about some bed competition i entered on the 50 connect website though trying to flog me an adjustable bed, might be them doing the rounds? it was on my home phone though so not sure of the number! Hopefully for you it's not them though and is actually a decent win! fingers crossed for you!

    Someone with a withheld number called me at 4:30pm today, however the signal went flat. I rarely give out my mobile phone number apart from these competitions!

    I did try looking up the numbers on google but found nout.

    Uh-ohhh... reading that has just made me remember that I have the anon call blocker thing on my phone, it means it wont let any calls through to me if the number is withheld.

    Just type the phone number that you have a missed call off into google...just literally the phone number (maybe break it down as that sometimes helps so in the 0000 000 000 format but try different ways of typing it) and see the results usually show you the company whos number it belongs to

    Hope you find it and even more hope that its something nice!!:)
