weird missed calls

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
today and friday i got some missed calls at 11.30 both days.
Friday the number was 01262 677770 and today the number was 02085398900 and tried to call me twice.

I think todays number might have been a company number? Not sure about fridays though? Sorry i'm just curious because it seems a bit weird. What do you think?

    Try ringing them back?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    erm..just ring them back??!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Call, or easier yet, just forget about it.
    Most likely it was either a company or a wrong number. Happens to lots of people all the time.

    i don't really want to waste credit, i'm short enough as it is. I get wrong numbers quite a bit...ive had a voice mail and random calls before. It just seems a bit odd they both called at exactly the same time of day.

    Then just leave it alone. I get missed calls all the time from random numbers.

    yeah i got numbers like that but i do forget about it and just think "wow im so famous people who i dont even know want to talk me" :D:D

    You could answer next time they call too. I love getting into conversations with wrong numbers, they are always amusing. Can't go wrong with finding out how the day was of a person you'll never know.

    i was in a lesson both times and my phone was on silent in my pocket, and is on silent all day so its kinda difficult as they seem to call in school hours

    Same here. I don't make that many calls wither, but if I do it's usually to my parents because I want something...

    :yes:

    i figure if they know me/it's that important, they'll just ring back.

    it's generally people trying to sell you new mobile deals. :yeees:

    i've had those before...it was some company in manchester....i was just off being 16 so they couldnt offer me it....then asked if a parent would get it for me!

    i always lie outrageously about the tariff i'm on, but it doesn't always work:

    annoying person: what deal are you currently getting?
    me: 1000 free texts and 500 cross network minutes for £9.99 a month
    annoying person: ah, but miss kaff, do you realise that with this deal you could have 100 free texts and 100 off-peak minutes for only £24.99 a month?

    :chin:

    I didn't know sales people called cell phones as they are usually unlisted numbers. I feel lucky now.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Calls like that annoy the fuck out of me, i usually call back with holding my number listen to them answer then hang up.

    what a pointless thread. how do you expect US to know who it is? ring them if you're that bothered.

    a girl at work got a missed call today from the 020 number you mentioned. Tried to Google it, but nothing came up.

    I reckon that it is a scam - you phone back and get a huge bill in return

    Wow. Freaky. I just like signed up for these boards to talk about this. 02085398900 also rang me twice at 13:09 and then 13:10. On the 21/06/06. I searched on Google for this number (99% knowing that nothing was going to come up- and then this post did). Its pretty freaky, but i don't have a clue what it is either. The only reason (some other person posted) that they would of hung up- is to get you to ring them back. Which would cost about £15 a minute! :crazyeyes So.. you're not the only one! :D
