I've had quite a few phone calls since I started comping (despite opting out wherever possible) - they have all been multiple calls and googling results indicates spam - however I got this one (01226705046) on Friday and can't find any record of it online (other than that it's a Barnsley area code). Any ideas?

I rang it back Friday night and it just rang for ages, then tried again yesterday afternoon and kept getting a busy tone.

Since I haven't won anything yet, I don't know what's the norm - do they tend to ring more than once or leave a message? Is it best to just wait to see if they ring again or call them back?

Before I started comping I never ever gave my number out, other than to family/friends, so I never get random calls from numbers I don't know, which is why I'm curious about this one.

Bit of a shot-in-the-dark, probably just a random wrong number!
