This number is the LEGIT BT owned and operated text to speech to housephone translation and relay service number. It call housephones when a text is sent to it. It does NOT call in the middle of the night and it ALWAYS tells you the originating number when you pick up the phone. In the most unlikely event of a scam text being sent to your housephone, the ORIGINATING number is the scam number to report both by text to 7726 and on this site. Do not report this fully automated relay service number. It IS legit. More info is on this feed both in the posts below and on the banner post above.

This number is a fully automated audio text service. It only calls housephones if a text message is sent to it. There are many posts on this feed that explain why this number calls. If you get nuisance texts via this number, report the originating number by text to 7726. But this number is not a scam number and most phone providers and many businesses use this BT system.

Got a call from this number twice today. First time I didn't make it to the phone in time. Second time I picked up and it said I have a voicemail and to press 1 to listen. The voicemail said it was DPD saying that they have an Amazon package to deliver and said a lot of numbers/letters. I hung up. I don't know if it is legit or not.

Lucky this British based company that own this site doesn't rely on posts to decide whether or not a number is safe and legit or a scam number. They do their own research. Well done them. A shame the foreign owned phone number checking sites can't do the same thing. There are posts on this site that explain exactly how this service number works, why it calls your housephone and what to expect when you pick the phone. There are posts on this feed that are very obviously fake. Anyone who gets text messages sent to their housephone in audio format via this automated translation service will recognise the fake posts.

Fortunately this site does its own research on reported numbers and do not rely on algorithms counting the safe/danger labels on posts to decide whether a number is safe to answer or it's a dangerous scam number. Read the banner post above. ALL of it! Most phone providers use this BT system to ensure that text messages sent to housephones are relayed on in audio format. All you need do is pick up the ringing phone and do absolutely nothing except listen. Do not press buttons on your phone when instructed unless you are 110% certain the number is legit. Keep listening. The originating number will be read out and the message will be read out when the bot voice runs out of options. Keep listening when the message is finished before hanging up. This service is free to answer. You can change the curfew time or block this number at source. Just listen to the instructions. Check the posts below for more info

This number calls your housephone when a text message has been sent to it. Most phone providers use this free to answer BT service to ensure that the message is translated into audio and relayed on. You will always be told the originating number when you pick up. If you ignore ALL options to press buttons on your phone, the message will be read out when the bot voice runs out of options. No one should press buttons on their phone if so instructed by a call from an unfamiliar number - that is daft. Emojis, Gifs etc can cause the message to fail as can messages in a foreign language. It is possible to block this number at source or change the curfew time that this number can or can't call. Just keep listening when you pick up the receiver.

This is one of the text to speech to landline translation and relay service numbers. This particular service is the owned by BT and most phone providers use it to ensure text messages sent to housephones are relayed on. See the banner post above and other information posted about this number below. Nearly all calls from these audio text services will be from someone you know sending the text to your housephone instead of your mobile by mistake or it's an automated message from a business that you know that has your housephone number as the contact. Anyone who gets call from this number will know what happens when you pick up the phone. Some of the posts on this feed are wrong. That indicates the posts are maliciously fake. There are posts that explain all about this service and why it calls as it does and why some messages can fail. If a scam text gets through, report the originating number by text to 7726 and on this site not these relay service numbers

SCAM so called message from lloyds bank saying there was a £200 transaction on my account, it was lloyds bank number that fraudsters had spoofed, i knew my bank would not phone and ask for my details so its a scam no doubt about it. How anyone can come on this site and say its safe is a complete moron  and to claim all genuine scam posts are fake is in my mind up to no good  if you look on other sites its the same green posts been left, this peson is not genuine and is out to get people scammed, all you have to do is check out other sites to see im telling the truth, one site as been shut down for months now and all the fake green posts have been deleted  thats all the proof needed to prove this green poster is a wrong one

Fully automated text to speech to landline translation and relay service number. Most phone providers use this BT system to ensure text messages sent to non text enabled housephones are delivered. Plenty of information about how this service works has been posted on this feed. You will ALWAYS be told the originating number when you pick up the call. That will be the number to report onto the system set up by the government working with the police and OfCom to deal with them. Details how to report onto this system have been posted below. This number is legit and mostly safe. Scam numbers must be reported onto the official government system set up to deal with them. And then report THAT number on this site.

Had 5 calls from this number recently. One the other week from BT telling me my new router was on its way. This is in preparation for the optic fibre Digital Voice switch rolling out across the country over the next couple of years. Two telling me the switchover had taken place and to plug my broadband and phone into the new router, and two reminders. Thing is, this is the fully automated text to speech to housephone translation and relay service. It calls housephones when a text message is sent to it. If I hadn't been aware of what to do before the switchover and hadn't already plugged in my phone and set up my broadband, I would not have got the last 4 messages! The other concern is this BT audio text service used by most phone providers cant work on answerphones and keeps on and on trying to deliver the message until it times and the message is deleted. I am aware that most people ignore unknown numbers calling them and assume a scam unless a message is left. But the number is safe.

It's an audio text service. Calls when a text is sent to your housephone instead of your mobile. Just pick up the phone and listen. Do not press any buttons on your phone. The message will be read out without needing to do anything except listen. Most of these texts will be from someone you know sending the text to your housephone instead of your mobile by mistake or it's a business that you know that has your housephone number as the contact and sending an automated message. Be aware most phone providers use this BT system. You will always be told the originating number when you pick up. Should a scam message get through, the number to report as the scam on this site and by text to 7726 will be the originating number not this fully automated relay service number. This service cannot work on answerphones and will keep on trying to deliver the message until it times out and deletes the message after 24 hours. Emojis, links etc can cause the entire message to fail. More info below

It's the BT audio text service. Calls when a text is sent to a housephone. Most phone providers use this BT service. The phone system recognises the text has been sent to a non text enabled phone and is diverted to this BT system that will attempt to translate it to audio. Gifs emojis etc will cause the message to fail or spout nonsense numbers. When you get the call and pick up, BT will announce itself and tell you the originating number. You will then be given options to press buttons on your phone. Ignore the options. The message will be read out when the bot voice runs out of options. This service is free to answer. It will not work on answerphones. It will keep trying to deliver the message until it times out and deletes the message after 24 hours. You can change the curfew time that this number can call or not call or block the number at source by calling freephone 08005875252 from your housephone

IT IS NOT BT! Sounds like BT and asking to press 1, 2 etc to get to your messages... but probably costing you a lot of money! Hang up and go into your answer machine, by pressing 1571 - and there is nothing there! IT IS A SCAM! It might be a 'proper' BT number that appears on your telephone screen, but it is not them - maybe a clone?

BT Messaging Service, as others have said before. You've received a text message on your landline and option 1 will get it read out to you. I believe you can set the times between which you receive these calls, so you should be able to get rid of those pesky late night/early morning calls. I haven't tried it myself, but I'm sure I heard something about it as I was deleting the message and hanging up.

apparently BT attempted text delivery which required number selection [not]

I got a weird call asking 'Have you ever heard of Dr Shiver ?', which means nothing to me. There is a way of blocking the service.

Audio text to house phone audio translation and relay service number. Check it by sending a text from your mobile to your house phone. No charge to answer. BT run this service for most phone providers.

Audio text service number. It's owned and operated by BT and is used by most mobile phone operators and some businesses to relay audio translations of text messages that someone sent to a landline. Free to answer. The system will ALWAYS tell you the originating number before giving various options. Try it by sending a text from your mobile to your landline.

reported 08456 021 111 as Harassing
Left a message wanting to retrieve an automated message, I didn’t and deleted the call.
