By this number,074951816907
Dialled 1471 and it gave me that number. One digit too long for a uk mobile number. Then I was called 10 minutes later. This time I picked up
the handset in time but no one was on the line. Dialled 1471 again, this time it said "we do not have the callers number". Anyone know where the number above is from? Or how
I can stop these sort of calls happening at stupid o clock?
Cheers

I think they are new mobile numbers.

A bit of googling has revealed that the numbers are only available to 3 at present. They have, weirdly, been around for a year now.

Are you sure in your sleep deprived state you havent added a digit yourself?

Type the first few numbers into your mobile and it should give you a list of the possible people who it could of been if it is a recognized number.

Save the number and check it when you get to work tomorrow it could be a work colleagues number and they have drunknly tried to phone you.

Am a bit sleep deprived but that is definitely the number that 1471 threw at me. Very strange. Unfortunately I have an iPhone and if I type in the first few digits it doesn't show me the matches in my directory.
When you say they are new numbers, do you mean 3 are launching mobile
numbers with 12 digits instead of 11?
Thanks for the replies so far chaps.

You will have a search in your contacts bit of your phone try putting the numbers in there.

Yep, appears as though 3 are dishing out 12 digit mobile numbers. A bit absurd. Never knew about them till tonight to be honest.
