Strange phone call.
My phone has just rung, I have two and this one is ex directory. It was a recorded message. It went something like, " Hello, this is Ntl, we have a message for you, just call 0871******** ", then the line went dead. I did not have a pen & paper handy so missed the rest of the number. Anyone have any idea what this could be about. 
Jim.

Re: Strange phone call.
Not much I'd guess, as NTL doesn't exist?

Re: Strange phone call.
Dialled 1471, full number is 0871 572 0013, dialled it from a different phone and it seems I will be able to claim between £900 & £1000 just by listening to a few short details.  The phone went back down rapido. 
So if you get a similar message, ignore it. 
Can anyone trace that number?
Jim.

Re: Strange phone call.
Hi,
I had a similar call last week and I am ex directory as well, I just ignored it.
I have not checked but I assume the number is a premium rate !

Hi Jim
0871 is not charged like the 09 numbers at 50p + per minute, I think you would have paid about 10p per minute plus connection fee
