06 is personal, 09 premium. Either someone selling or more likely at 6am, scamming.

If you are able to answer the phone at 6am, then best of luck. I'm alseep then. But answering and leaving the phone off the hook does not prevent the caller from disconnecting. The caller has control, when they put the phone down the call will drop. It is the receiver than can put the phone down, go to another phone in another room, and use that; because the call is still up.
I'd really need the complete numbers and run them through my system, but the first number you give doesn't exist (at all, it's not a valid number anywhere in the world), the second is probably from the same place as came together.
Therefore you are recording masked numbers, used by telemarketers to stop phones rejecting them with withheld numbers. Most are things like 00000 etc or 011234 and the like, but can use whatever rubbish they like. Take no notice, they are all calling from outside the UK and totally outside British law and unless you answer one of the recorded messages and press the button they ask you to can't do a thing.

I was also vexed by telemarketers due to the unwanted calls every day and night. I was searching for a tool badly which could stop these kinds of calls instantly. One of my friends recommended using stop telemarketers. I have used it and have also seen the positive impacts of it. Now, I don't get these unwanted calls from telemarketers at all. You can also do the same to get rid of the telemarketers.
