Unknown number that just beeps?

Just got a call 2 minutes ago from an unknown number, and I heard nothing but a beep occuring every 3 seconds, like an answering machine :eek:

Any idea what this could be or has anybody had it before?

The reason it kept calling you is most Fax machines are setup to redial a few times to keep retrying to send the fax.

It kept starting up a few hours later too D:

Call customer service for the provider of your phone line to tell them about this, and they'll either give you the number or put you through to their malicious calls department who should be able to tell the person trying to call you to stop.

I had a similar problem during the last change in dialling codes, but that is because some idiots were using the newer code before it had been fully implemented and weren't adding the 020 part into the number they were dialling thus the last 0 in the number they were dialling was being disregarded and the call was being put through to my number.

Well it stopped after a few hours, so will have to wait and see if it happens, otherwise i'll do this :mad:

Umm.... Plug in a fax machine??

Could be something important or interesting.

But this is my mobile phone! Surely people wouldn't bother sending faxes to a mobile!?
