1471
7 Answers
This morning the phone rang while I was upstairs, I usually look at caller display but the upstairs phone doesn't show it. So I answered it. It was a foreigner who wanted OH, he couldn't even say his name correctly, his accent was so strong. I told him I didn't want this call and to remove my number from his list.
I checked with 1471 to see which of the hundreds of numbers of nuisance calls this was.
I was told there were no numbers stored on my list. I checked with all the phones in the house and was told the same thing. How can that be? That was the last number to call me. Later on I had a genuine call and I checked after and 1471 was working fine. Anyone any ideas?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ."We do not have the caller's number" (or similar) simply means that the call was from an overseas number where the caller ID function isn't supported. Alternatively you might get the same number that I got just now when I dialled 1471: 0-00-0-00-0-00. Somehow or other I think that might not be genuine ;-)
Remember, as well, that overseas systems can inject false numbers (made to look like UK numbers) into the caller ID system. So a call that appears to have come from Southampton or Scunthorpe might actually have come from Mumbai or Abuja.
