Reverse charge calls "service" # Posted by Steve Nicholas on October 12, 2009, 8:42 am Message modified by board administrator October 12, 2009, 3:01 pm Hi All Rather worryingly, I caught the tailend of a message on my answering machine early this morning:- "...if you want to opt out of the reverse charge calls service key in 7,6....input not detected..." Well, there wouldn't be any input cos no B***er was there to answer this call! Does that mean I have now elected, by default, to receive 'phone calls at £9000 a minute or what? This way of doing "business" on the 'phone does nothing to suppress my homicidal tendencies! Regards, Steve  Post a Response ( * ) Required

And keying in #76 on your phone does not mean anything. Keith  Post a Response ( * ) Required

Re: Reverse charge calls "service" Posted by Steve Nicholas on October 12, 2009, 4:56 pm, in reply to "Re: Reverse charge calls "service"" Stephen Nicholas Thank you for the replies gentlemen. I guess we must all be more aware of what is going on scam-wise. Prompted by this, I have today registered my business number with the Corporate Telephone Preference Service. Link below...

Re: Reverse charge calls "service" Posted by Shaun Dale on October 22, 2009, 8:32 am, in reply to "Re: Reverse charge calls "service"" Shaun Dale For your fax number register with the Fax Preference Service (FPS) sorry no idea of the number at the moment, this will (eventually) stop junk faxes. I had to do this with my normal phone line as the answerphone kept getting filled up with fax beeps leaving no message space for genuine calls! Shaun  Post a Response ( * ) Required
