36Vodafone Sales Rep bursting my nut about better offers on Contract Sims. Wouldn't listen to Happy with My PAYG and not interested, infact, he completely ignored me and went into his speel. Asked f his phone can do this and Hung up on him. Now Blocked. I knew they were going to call. Received a text a while back but replied with the STOP text. Shows how they pay attention to that.
They were calling me for a week , 2 times per day.... Now this number in my AUTOREJECT LIST
Four times a day, every day for a fortnight. No matter how many times I reject the call, they still persist in calling. Voicemails and texts. Get off my back and stop harassing me.
This number called me at least 10 today each time I ignored it but I can't help but get concerned for my safety
This is a Vodafone number, it is listed on their website - I just rejected the call. https://support.vodafone.co.uk/Using-our-network/Calling-and-messaging/Calling/38912113/Is-it-Vodafone-calling.htm
i had this missed call on the 16 jan 2018 01706398645 my phone only ringed 3 times looking up this on google.com shows it was a scam back in 2015 so I don't know if the number is for a new person or not be careful as I have seen on the web site people have been scammed for 10 pounds min
trying to get me to change payg phone to contract
Called me twice in the space of two days. They're getting desperate to contact me as I'm receiving voicemails.
Keep ringing. I don't give out my no to anyone but family.
This is definitely Vodafone. They sent me a text about a week before the phone calls started.. ‘Happy with your current phone but want better value for money? With our range of flexible SIM only plans you can do just that. We'll give you a call next week to discuss them. For your peace of mind we'll be able to confirm some details about your account. Terms and credit check apply. To end texts, text STOP to 9774.’ A bit presumptuous of Vodafone to just assume I want to be harassed with phone calls? How about ASKING if I would like to be contacted, not TOLD I’m going to be contacted (actually harassed) I have no intention of taking out a contract. That is precisely why I have a payg sim!
Going off previous comments I'm glad I didn't answer however I did get a text from Vodafone saying they would phone me. I'm on PAYG so I'm wondering if it's a ploy to get you onto a contract
constantly calls asking if happy with service and wanting to change you to contract service (if on pay as you go)rings several times per week even on car phone (a real pain of a sales team even if change of p.a.y.g sim changed)
This is a Vodaphone marketing number. It's even on the voda web page as listed number
This number has been calling me every single day for the past week. They don't call just once, but three times throughout the day. I finally answered one just minutes ago and they claimed they were from Vodafone. There was very loud cheering in the background with immediately rang off alarms in my head. And they went one to "we want to save you money!" and the moment money came up, I hanged up. I agree with the other comments. This is very dodgy. I've never known a number to ever call me so much in a week. And then they immediately talk about money? AVOID
this number called me this morning, just got a brand new PAYG phone so haven't had time to send out my number to anyone, apart from vodafone assuming thats who it is but i dont answer call if i dont know who it is.
This number called me about 10 times throughout August 2016. I did search up the number then, and saw others had been contacted by this number. I left it at that, until today! The number called me AGAIN, it has been nearly a year! WTF?
They keep calling I keep not answering. Losers need to get a life and a real job.
Rang me today..not a number I know.. If is a scam glad didn't.. I've passed number on to local copper..
Called me today and asked if my phone was used for business. When I answered yes, the woman told me she would take me off the call list. Didn't ask for any bank details or personal information, very strange. Definitely did not sound legitimate.
Beware. Do not give them your bank details.SCAM.
Don't know any one with this number it calls three or four times a day no way will I answer it so they are wasting there time
They called asking me for bank details to improve my Sim contract, very strange
Keep getting calls from this number. thanks for the info on here. Have added the number to my DO NOT Answer list.
Had 9 calls on Tuesday, I didn't answer as i'd left my phone at home. Answered the 3rd call on Wednesday, Guy asking for Bank details to set up contract for phone. Told him I'm not legally allowed a contract, He replied - give me your details and i'll check if I can help - I hung up! VERY DODGY!!!!!
called me twice in a day, and they want me to change my pay as you go account for a contract, and want me to give my bank details over the phone. when i told them that i will do it from the vodafone website they told me that its not possible because it can only be done over the phone. its definitely a scam so dont give your bank details to them.
This number has called me a few time a day for the last 4 days. I finally gave in & answered & he explained he was from Vodaphone & wanted me to swap from pay as go to a contract, this is actually something I need to do but I really didnt trust them for some reason. Possible scam but cant be sure.
called my mobile - vodaphone - but I'm in France. If I'd heard the call I'd have answered it as it's UK - thanks for all past comments - VERY helpful. No message left, of course - thus I was suspicious.
kept overriding me when i said no and said he was vodaphone and had all my details and call logs and wanted me to upgrade my account and needed my bank details...duh...i am payg so why did he want my bank details...SCAMMER....
01706 398645 Keeps calling both my teenage kids. Wanting to talk about their account. They are both PAYG and not daft. When I called, a voice in the back ground said" here we go" and the call was answered with "hello" when I asked who they were they just asked if I'd had a missed call from them. The call continued. They are NOT Vodafone. And ultimately untrustworthy.
keeps calling me but I don't answer.
this number keeps calling my phone, so i just blocked it as it becomes annoying
I've moved to Japan recently and this number keeps calling me regularly, sometimes 3 times per hour. I'm not answering and don't think I should
This number has called my mother's mobile six times so far. Are they ever going to give up?
Calling daily for last 2 weeks, but i dont bother answering as i know it will be vodafone trying to sell their products
this number called my 14 year old daughter on her mobile 3 times yesterday and 4 times today, when she answered they were trying to get her to take out a contract on her phone
This number keeps calling my wife's mobile and, because she won't answer unknown callers, she waits for a message which never comes. It calls 2 or 3 times a day.
