08456 021 111

Cold Call regarding "voicemails" requiring input purporting to be from BT. Call asks for an option to be chosen to be directed to corresponding supposed unheard voicemail message (to be redirected to another number). Disconnects 7 seconds into call after no options are chosen.

Seems to be the standard BT message, apparently "parcel farce" were delivering £5 million in £1 notes and needed a fee to be paid, so deleted all of the saved messages as the same phish

The 08456021111 number is "BT Text number". If you receive a call or message from 08456 021 111, this is the BT Text service letting you know you have a message waiting. Call 08456 021 111 to get your message. This number is listed on BT's website; bt.com/help/landline/set-up-and-use-bt-text

12:34pm. Number not recognized so not answered. Caller rang off when answering machine kicked in. Reading this I'm glad I didn't bother.

Clearly stated a mobile number which when checked was a mate and a text was sent to me on my landline (I'm with talk talk) it's a BT service on all providers ,not sure how it can be mistaken for a scam if you are of sound mind !

Annoying! There HAS got to be a way our government can stop these calls!

This number has called my landline twelve times today. Fortunately I am able to block calls without being interrupted. Surely it is possible to stop these scam calls

Another 2 calls this morning from this number one at 11.07am and another at 11.17am. In total we have had 9 calls from them - none answered. You would think the CRETINS would have got the message by now.

This is the BT text to voice reader service. If someone tries to send a text to your landline it will read it out for you. Unfortunately it does have a habit of dropping the line as soon as you answer, but it will call back later. It is safe.

Pretended from BT and that my landline had received a text and it had gone to BT's messaging service. a) I'm not on BT, b) my landline provider doesn't accept texts to any messaging service, c) on another 'look up site' someone else was told this number purported to be from Nationwide. It can't be all these various things so SCAM. Avoid. Don't press anything.

Had 2 calls from this number within 10 minutes. Automated voice saying it was BT a mobile number, that I hadn't received the message. Not ringing any numbers, have blocked it.

Just had 4 phone calls from this number this morning starting at 6.30am. As I did not recognise this number I did not pick up. Extremely annoying. How is it that certain individuals can get hold of my number and that of others to irritate and annoy? BT and other large telecom companies should have more robust filtering systems in place!

Nothing sinister - BT service - if someone sends a text to your landline, this number rings you and delivers the message as an audio message. Try it - send a text to your landline!

Called six times today only ring’s four times then stops very annoying

08:30 was having a lie in. Did not get to answer before it stopped ringing. No message left on answer phone.

BT Text to voice service

Phoned at 22.00 sms text messsage and press 4 to retrieve. Scammer

This number has called 8 times today. I suspect it’s a scam and haven’t answered it. But 8 times from the same number is just too much

Rang twice this morning. Says messaging service for Vodaphone, don’t have or use Vodaphone.

This number keeps ringing its a nuisance automated saying its bt

Try an education

Redcorded message supposedly from AWA apologising about local water problems and them being fixed by 1800......gave up listening after that and I hung up.

Answered the phone and the line went dead. Was someone checking if anybody was home?

didn't answer. caller left a silent voice mail.

Lots of calls at inconvenient times, during night etc, no message left.

Call saying message service and to press 3 to return the call. No message left so what is the point to return the call? This is a nuisance.

Safe? That's not the point!! BT should stop it...........................now.

BT Text to voice service.

Supposed to be an image.Sent to landline. Visit some website - not called or visited

It called me and said that I had a bt message and I just hung up on them did not trust them

Calls started 07.00hrs Called twice 5 mins apart. Didn't pick up as we only do business via email or trusted numbers, will block like all the rest.

Rang twice this morning. Says messaging service for Vodaphone, don't have or use Vodaphone

Called me at 03.15 in the morning, didn't answer, obviously a scam call, number blocked.

This number started calling me virtually every hour since 9.15am this morning. It is now 9.45pm and we have just received another call. This is very annoying!

A message from Amazon to say a parcel is due today.

Throughout the year I've had 4 calls from this number and have never answered. After the first two I blocked the number and they don't bother me anymore but my phone shows they tried twice today 21/12. In the last three days I have had 6 calls from various numbers. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THE IDIOTS.

Number calls many times even at 10:30 pm.

All unrecognised numbers, including this one, go to voicemail. Where no message is left, calls are ignored. If someone is trying to send a text message to my landline, it's unsolicited and whoever sent it obviously doesn't know me.

Automated call at 4 am! supposedly from 02 saying that a SIM card would shortly be delivered. This came from information I had given to 02 the previous day. Put phone down after the usual message about pressing 1,2,3 or 4.

Called five times today latest at 10.30pm. Hung up when answerphone switched in.

Received a call today 7.30am, did not answer. Rang again 10 mins later so I did answer and it was genuine call informing me that Parcel Force were delivering a genuine order around 11.00 am that same day. The call did ask for me to press 1 to hear the message.

7.57pm 2/3/22. Number not recognised and not answered. Seven calls from this number recently - none answered -you'd think they would have got the message by now !!!!!

2 calls in 10 minutes on 2/6/22. Caller didn't wait for answering machine before ringing off - some weird people in this world.

number calls many times even at 1030 pm

Called me at 07:06 this morning. Thankfully my landline has Call Guardian so unless the caller identifies themselves they get cut off without bothering me.

Scammers spamming BT message service, beware.

Called twice this morning. Pressed to answer call - line went dead both times -very annoying. Will it happen again???

6 calls from this number so far today. I leave unanswered and no message left on answer machine . I do wish I could just get a few minutes face to face with this a******* caller. I'm working and he/she is becoming tiresome.

Annoying, annoying annoying call. This caller (BT) has to be stop disrupting people. I had this call. so many times months and months after. Again yesterday I had this call about more than 10 times, even during the night and early morning. Need to be stop !!

As mentioned in other comments, the phone stops ringing when you pick up. Have now had 3 calla so far today and 2 yesterday. Absolutely annoying to say the least. No idea what it’s about. SMS? Message?

This number has rung me 4 times this morning, but has rung off before the answerphone kicks in. I wouldn't answer it anyway, and if I get to the phone in time when it rings again I shall block it.

pretended from BT and that my landline had received a text and it had gone to BT's messaging service, a) I'm not on Bt b) my landline provider doesn't accept texts to any messaging service, c) on another 'look up site' someone else was told this number proported to be from Nationwide. It can't be all these variouis things so SCAM. Avoid. Don't press anything.

BT Messaging Service, as others have said before. You've received a text message on your landline and option 1 will get it read out to you. I believe you can set the times between which you receive these calls, so you should be able to get rid of those pesky late night/early morning calls. I haven't tried it myself, but I'm sure I heard something about it as I was deleting the message and hanging up.

Called me 3 times midnight and 2 aroundc7am . Answered once unknown voice asking me to meet for coffee. Very scary would like to block this number

Called twice,but because my virgin A/c for landline were charging me for calls I supposedly made and refuse to compensate my Acc I was wary ,so not answering any more numbers I don,t recognise anymore.!!Would advise others to do same!!!!!!!!

Called me at 07:06 this morning. Thankfully my landline has Call Guardian so unless the caller identifies themselves they cut cut off without bothering me.

Received call 2 times up to now let it go to answer machine as thought it may be scam. Topic of call tracking of parcel

Calls started 07:00hrs. Called twice 5 mins apart. Didn't pick up as we only do business via email or trusted numbers. Will block like all the rest.

It is the BT sms text store - I have picked up 3 messages left today however don't understand why these are coming through to my phone as I am with Plusnet

three calls in 10 mins

got a call/text from this number telling us about a weather warning for this area and to watch the weather forecast for latest info, and if power was to go of contact your supplier. Never had one of these messages before, but we are due to get some bad weather in this area over next day or so. - caller: BT

Perfectly safe number unless your name is jack then it's a scam, what scam nobody knows but it's a scam , and if you disagree with said jack he will abuse and threaten you because she always gets found out and has a tantrum .

11 calls from this number over the weekend. We were away so didn't/wouldn't answer. How can I report this to BT ?

Call from BT? To receive a text message from BT press *. Three times yesterday and again at 06.45 today

Perfectly safe and easy to understand service education is key and a little intelligence, the lies above are trolled please ignore them , if you dont know the number stated when answered dont answer this is simples bit like the trolls posts above...

Told me I had a text message to my landline and to push certain buttons - I didn't.

apparently BT attempted text delivery which required number selection [not]

I got a weird call asking 'Have you ever heard of Dr Shiver ?', which means nothing to me. There is a way of blocking the service.

had 6 calls this evening about sms text messages, the last one just before 10.30pm,these calls are very annoying to say the least.

Had 2 calls from this number within an hour, stating a message had been left and to press 1 to hear the message. Did not do so, terminated the call.

Called me at 06:58 this morning. Thankfully my landline has Call Guardian so unless the caller identifies themselves they cut cut off without bothering me.

Tells you to expect a delivery from Parcel force. Hung up!

UNWANTED CALL ... Is this another scam???

Had 6 calls from this number so far today saying its from BT its an automated message didn't listen to all of it

Says it is an SMS message and I should press 1 to retrieve it. As this is a business rate number I didn't recognise, I didn't press 1 or call back.

A call came in from this number whilst I was out - I have blocked after reading the comments on here - Thanks all

Constant calls from early this morning. Every time I got to the phone, it stopped ringing. I felt like someone was watching me - very frightening.

Automated message informing me that I have a message left from Tesco, advising to press the button to retrieve that message- I didn’t

Audio text to house phone audio translation and relay service number. Check it by sending a text from your mobile to your house phone. No charge to answer. BT run this service for most phone providers.

Telling me it was BT calling there is a SMS message for me and to press 4 to retrieve.

Phoned five or six times and didn't answer as unknown number. When I did was told me I had a text message and to press 1 but I didn't.

i have blockrd thid number

Audio text service number. It's owned and operated by BT and is used by most mobile phone operators and some businesses to relay audio translations of text messages that someone sent to a landline. Free to answer. The system will ALWAYS tell you the originating number before giving various options. Try it by sending a text from your mobile to your landline.

Left a message wanting to retrieve an automated message, I didn’t and deleted the call.

I have had dozens of calls from this number in the last 36 hours. I answered it once but it called off. No one spoke. It's now blocked but still try This is very sinister

Weird mentioned all sorts of things which seemed unrelated! So glad my phone has a block button as I see others are bothered more than once

Hung up after 8 rings. Now blocked.

Missed call yesterday at 09:38, True Caller will not allow calls unless the caller identifies who they want to talk to so the phone didn't ring.

Called 5 times within 1 hour Answered once-no one there. Very annoying

Called at 5am waking the household. Nuisance!!!

Rang at six thirty this evening. Screening service so they didn’t announce themselves. These calls are so frequent and so annoying. Time something was done about it.

This number called me at 2:50 am this morning. I didn't answer.

automated message telling me it was BT calling there is a SMS message for me from Vodafone and to press buttons 1-4 to retrieve. No e-mail/call from Vodafone so no action taken.

Another silent call from this number!

Text to landline service as safe as it can be can't understand the negatives on here if you know the number calling just listen to the message if you don't then don't it really is that simple.

5 times on a Sunday evening. We didn't answer the phone. Very annoying

Persistent 8 rings then rings off Thanks

For the past three days I have received call from this number. As I did not recognise the number I did not answer. each day the number of calls has increased. Today this number has called four times. The number has been blocked by me each time. It is obviously annoying.
