Fellow and lady Barnsley fans it is not a footy ?but can yo help me with this

I have just had a Phone call
the wife answered it
she could not make out the number
so we used 1471
the number is 01789 760500
a Rotherham Number
i rang it back on got the dead phon call sign
now the strange thing is
it has happened before called from that number and noe reply
any one from Rotherham area have any idea

 

the code for rotherham is 01709 not 01789. I'm not sure if that is just a typing mistake or not but i think it's worth asking, how did you ring the number back? did you write down (or remember) the number and then dial it? Or did you press 1471 and then press 3?

 

yes i did just that
but it is a mystery that the same thing has happened before over ayear ago
i rang NTL both occasions and they cant help

 

You've got the wrong town matey

if you've typed the number correctly, 01789 is Stratford on Avon, not Rotherham (chinny)

 

RE: You've got the wrong town matey

yes thanks but i made amess of it
it is 01709 i did it wrong as usual thanks for reply

 

Don't bother ringing back Bob.

If it's the same company that keeps ringing us using a Rotherham 01709 number and the rest sounds familiar then it is usually someone from T Mobile trying to give you a "good deal" on a new mobile package. Usually someone with a heavy accent who asks for you as, in our case Mr Kevin or Mrs Crystal so you would be Mr Bob (Robert).

They seem to be very persistant and used to phone on a daily basis.

 

Also

they ring, you answer the phone to be told by an automated voice
"please hold the line we have a call for you" - a way of getting round the cold calling rules, cue phone put down at our end.

 

crystal

if that happens again then report them, there are rules that say that if they phone using the automated system (as they most likely are doing) then if you don't answer they aren't allowed to call back for a certain period of time. Or it's something like that anyway.

 

Bob are you registered with the Telephone Preference Service?

It's like opting out of junk mail but for phone calls - see link</p>

RE: Don't bother ringing back Bob.

thanks Crystal
ive checked Rotherham phone numbers cant find a 760 number
and it is such a long time it rang before
we got no voice at all
you could be right
all the best for2007

 

Well

when I say put the phone down sometimes we do and sometimes we put them on hold listening to the dogs "sing"

Have to look into reporting them, thanks.

We did register with TPS but still get a few calls coming through.

 

RE: Bob are you registered with the Telephone Preference Service?

thanks i joined that some time ago

 

Same to you and yours.

Look after each other.

 

RE: Well

lol we havent got any dogs but I suppose I could always turn bbc parlament on the tv and let them listen to that for half an hour.

 

Actually got a "new" toy for Christmas,

Chris brought a whistle home from Chester and that now has pride of place at the side of the phone!

 

for such a nice person

you have quite a wicked side to you. Now I know where laura gets it from.

 

did you block your number when you rang them back? the company may have chosen to block anonymous callers, you would have got the tone you described

 

I don't know what you mean

 

RE: I don't know what you mean

I'm sure you don't

 

No thanks ,i dont know how,
thanks for reply
