1471 on vodafone
Steven L Hunter
14-12-2005
Why is it that when i call 1471 it tells me the number then i press 5 to return the call and it says dialling now then it rings in that fast vodafone ringtone and it just repeats the number that called again?

It's 3 to return the call on BT, Telewest, O2 and probably NTL a well but vodafone is 5.

Silly question - but do you have enough credit for the call to connect? Remembering minimum charge is 10p? x

Hi Steven, it's because you have insufficient or no credit available.

NOTE: When returning a call using 1471 services on Vodafone, You will be charged standard rates and it will not be part of your bundle or Stop the clock.

I've just tried it on my old Voda PAYG sim card and the service works fine - Maybe you should phone customer service.

I tried it again it was a different number this time and it worked, the other number was an 07771 number that i didnt know so i took note of it and it just went on to the vodafone voicemail so dunno who it was.

It's probably a number of payphone that does not recieve incomming calls or a sales call from a number that appears to be not in use.

It does not work when trying to return calls to numbers starting 05 either

But why would a payphone use 07771 numbers?

Patientline uses 07 numbers for hospitals. Bedside equipment also use 07 numbers.

It may be a BT payphone on an inter-city train, those payphones use mobile reception, since BT has made agreements with vodafone, they may now use the vodafone network.
