Has anyone ever taken a call from BT on 08000285085? Just had 2 miss-calls from this number, did a search online and some say it's BT, some say it isn't. Called it and it's a BT voicemail saying they'll call back.
Spent the last 45 minutes trying to speak to a human being at BT to find out if it IS them and no luck - well, I spoke to a bemused chappie on BB Technical Help (dunno how I even ended up there...) who had no record of that number being a BT number...

Ok, I can wait for the callback BUT if it IS a dodgy number I'd rather sort it out sooner than later... it might just be because I axed the BT BB yesterday but i'd rather know than leave it...

Its an outbound call from a BT office phone or call centre. All phone calls from a particular BT area are set up to appear to have come from the same 0800 number so unfortunately you can't call it back.

Ta for that - no call back from them yet so I'll just see what happens...

I had a missed call from that number today too.

I have today applied to have the BT line here reconnected so guessing it was about that

They finally called back - it was the Newcastle call centre, making sure I'd got my MAC code ok and trying to offer me a better deal than O2, again. He couldn't but at least they tried.... twice!
