Matt Harwood Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Can anyone tell me if there's an easy way to find out what an 0900 number is? I've got one appeared on my phone bill and I've no idea what it is. I've tried phoning it, but it's a dead line. I've tried BT but they're closed for the evening... Any ideas?

Steve Cargill Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Try Google & Google groups. Is it a one off or is your phone bill the size of a third world debt? I'm getting about 2 faxes a day now all asking you to fax back to be included or excluded from some list. They are all 0906 numbers at £1.50/min. So easy for somone not on the ball to fax it back.

Matt Harwood Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 No, It's not huge by any means, about £20, but neither Chantelle or myself can remember calling it. It was at 11.03pm as well, so unlikely to be the kids... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 We had this happen (so did my sis) it was a program that was installed onto our pc (prob came in with another download, so AOL said) they said these little programs can be attached to any seemingly harmless downloads and they just sit on your pc waiting to dial the 09 number ! AOL said I could get a 0900 bar from BT. When I rang BT to ask about it they said it was very common and they put a bar on all outgoing 0900 (premium) numbers for me - free of charge and instant. Seems to have sorted it. Good luck.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I heard a story that people were breaking into BT junction boxes and dialing the numbers on your line from there. Seems feasibe but a lot of effort. Urban myth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
