Silent phone calls

[parapaul]

We've been doing pretty well recently, we've hardly had any for the last few months.

Over the last few days though, we've been getting loads from the same number. It comes up on the Caller ID as 01782 000000. 01782 is my local area code, but I've no idea about the 000000... Google brings up a load of local business listings, from supply teachers to plumbers to motorcycle lessons!

Any ideas, anyone?

Edit: Just found http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/0178200000 , it seems it's possibly the same local double glazing and uPVC idiots who we've told to fk off several times already, now using some kind of faked number. Twunts.

That cannot be a proper CLI, so is illegal for them to send it. Report them to OFCOM!

Worth a try... However, NHS Direct have the same caller ID from their local centre when they call 999

Well said.

Just leave the phone on the side next time they ring. It's their phone bill.

Start heavy breathing down the phone and saying stuff like "ohh spank my ass" "uuuuuuuuugggggghhhhhhhhh" etc

I asked stupid questions and then say I'm not interested.

Good fun if you have 10 spare minutes.

The clue is in the title... silent calls

Why do motorcycle lessons always seem to feature in yellow pages etc? Even though you never see them anywhere else.

I learnt the trick from my Grandpa. He used to do the same sort of thing with salesmen that rang. "Can you hold on a minute, I'll just go and consult my wife". Then he'd sit back down in front of the television and return to hang the phone up 10 minutes later.

Maybe the caller just has a really bad stutter.

Your impatience is almost certainly not helping.
