I'm trying to test the transfer of phone calls from my handset to a handsfree device (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Siemens-Gigaset-L410-DECT-Cordless/dp/B004VM4E7S). Anyone know of a good number to call for this purpose? Of course I could phone up my bank but there's just a chance they might answer for once

I think that's just for BT lines. Doesn't work on my Virgin Media line anyway.

It's just a "someone from DWP tried to call you and will call again" announcement.

Try the BT news line:

0800 500005

It's a recorded information line which usually lasts about 10 minutes or so and is updated on a weekly basis.
