Telephone is acting bizzare

Biohazard · 21 Jul 2006 at 17:01

Got the house phone put in the other day, came in after work five minutes ago and there was 7 pretty random messages flashing at me... one sounded like a five year old in the bath. Second was 'amy' trying to get hold of 'marie'. Couple of hang ups (but answer machine records 1471 so I know that I do not recognise those numbers)......

considering this number has been given out to no one, and I mean no one I am finding this bizzare! :confused:

Do you think the engineer has robbed someone else number and given me it?

Whats the chances?

Phone the operator & get them to check the line, your number, etc. It's what they're there for.

Just off the phone "please give it until next week these problems tend to sort themselves out"

hmmmm

Phone numbers can sometimes be recycled.

Or you may have a number that is very similar to somebody elses.

It's hardly X-Files material though.

Or maybe that's just what I want you to think.

Yeah that's perhaps a good idea.

I had the same problem with a second hand phone. Someone kept sending me rude jokes in text messages. In the end it just stopped

you could forgive a second hand for such inconviences, a new landline however? Bah if its not sorted by Monday I'll phone them back up and moan until I get my first month free.

When I last moved house we kept getting phone calls for some business or other. Wouldn't have minded but when we told them it was a residential address/number some of them argued! Never did quite get my head round that.
