Query re silent calls
18 Answers
I am getting about 5 silent calls a day and the number displayed is
07863 298405.
When I try to call back the number is unobtainable.
Does anybody know what this is as the calls are becoming a nuisance.

Oftel records show that numbers starting 07863 2 are allocated to Hutchison 3G UK Ltd. Note that due to number portability if an individual number has moved to a different operator this information is not publicly available.
Oftel's last recorded change for this number range was April 2003.

as has been said, the calls are done with an automated dialler - -when you pick it up the system then looks for an available call handler to take the call - if no one is free then you just get silence. They are not malicious, but are very annoying!!

We get one every night about 7.30 our telephone registers it as International caller, so we ignore it. But Johnny Singh caught me out yesterday and called back during the afternoon, wanting me to answer a survey, I refused said 'no time just going out to work'. He was pleading for me to talk to him, I hung up.
Thanks for the answer Chuck. Can I elaborate?
I have received various withheld number calls. So Monday this week I registered with Telephone Preference Service and subscribed to Anonymous Caller Rejection from Virgin Media.
I still received unwanted calls. Afterwards when I dial 1471 it says caller withheld number. So it seems ACR does not work.
Maybe it only works when people in UK prefix their call with 141.
