I know a lot of them are, but a lot of the time they are the ones that will create a connection type in your DUN with no valid number - I've never actually seen one that actually will go in there that dials a 090 number - for a start it'd be UK specific...

The other thing is of course, that it's quite likely none of these were running or had been ran recently...

The other thing is that it seems strange that it should dial so many different numbers....
