    You have a dial up modem on your PC and actually dial that number from your PC ??. That was many many years ago and has been obsolete since broadband .

    >>>If I 'hit' one of these sites am I thus charged for a 118660 call? Whose to gain - Google?

    As said no that the web not the phone and nothing to do with Google or Bing they are just showing the answers to your search . That search whatever it was is probably still in your browser history .

    Thanks to all. I'm getting a glimmer of the situation. I did do a Bing search on some subject around 05.30 on last Sunday which was about the time my phone charge was logged. NO PHONE USED! As I said earlier, I did a search of 118660 today and numerous sites included this number in their addresses. If I 'hit' one of these sites am I thus charged for a 118660 call? Whose to gain - Google?

    The only site that mentions it in its title is 118860.co.uk an obscure DQ service operated by a company in Petersfield,Hants.

    Any other mention of 118860 is where its included for reference purposes eg a product code,map reference ,etc etc etc.
