    thats why i was wondering if it was a mobile number as i havent seen 070 before. tried calling it back but no answer, oh well!!!

    Google told me this...
    There have been reports that a 070 number phones you, then disconnects, which leaves your phone showing
    1 missed call ( as you did not have time to answer it )
    If you call the number back, it redirected you to a number charging you £ 50 gbp per minute ( $90 )
    ( There is no way any rental firm can reimbuse you , but our customers have not received any of these scams )

    taken from here :chin:

    070 are business numbers

    I have a personalised phone number that begins with

    0701

    I use that on Business cards, etc so when I change my mobile phone number I don`t have to get new cards reprinted, also a bit more private.

    You can then go to a certain website and instantly change which phone number it redirects to.

    Have you heard of number portability?

    How often do you change your mobile? :eek2:

    You wanna be careful with 070 numbers - they may well carry premiums
    Removal of 070 numbers


    Please be aware that from 17 August, you will no longer be able to dial the 070* ranges below from the O2 network. These ranges have a number of services associated with them including illegitimate premium rate lines which seek to exploit and unfairly charge customers.

    In order to combat this, we have had no choice but to remove them from the network, and you will now hear an unobtainable tone if you try to ring them. O2 UK apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause you.

    The number ranges effected are:

    070968
    070408
    070084
    070798
    070150
    070417
    070695
    070896
    070802
    070690
    070492
    070702
