british telecom test call

[jules77]

At prescisely 11.59 last night, when I was 'fast' asleep, the telephone rang. I answered it and a recorded message said 'BT test call complete'. I called 1471 and called back the 0800 number given, and it said that BT had tried to call me, and would call back if they needed me. I was not impressed, my son lives in America and due to time difference I thought it was him, and he would only call in the middle of the night if there was a problem. I just called BT, first advisor said the engineers do tests in the night, but usually betwen 3am - 4am when people are asleep so they dont answer the telephone. The next advisor said it was unusual for the telephone to actually ring when they do test calls. I asked for confirmation in writing it wouldnt happen again, and he said that would cost me �10!! His supervisor was too busy to speak to me. I am absolutely furious, I want to take this higher, but not to Oftel, I was thinking of the paper or something, anyone any ideas, or had this happen to them? thanks

Many folk on here have screen names which mean their gender is not obvious. It may not be obvious to you or others that I am male unless I explain the meaning. The thing is, it�s not something to get stressed about.

MILO - why did you waste your time with that response, It was not called for - Do I have to repeat my question again - I wanted to know if it had happened to anyone else, NOT FOR YOUR OPINION - and how do you know what type of person I am, as you state that you work with people like me everyday, what type of person is that. You dont know me, and to be honest, you sound just like the type of person I wouldnt want to either. It may not have bothered you, but it did me, and my husband too. Go start your own thread.
