Solved: Re: 0843 608 2150 Number

Anonymous · ‎09-05-2016

Was this previously an o2 number of any kind. I rang it 5 times last week speaking to an apparent o2 employee each time and have been charged over £30 for the calls. When I spoke to someone from o2 on another number they told me it was a BT number that's out of use now? Any help?

0843 numbers carry a 45p per min access charge.
0843 608 2150 is not a number I recognise as an O2 number and there are free numbers to call O2 on anyway.
Was this perhaps a so called "Trusted Partner" working on behalf of O2 but not actually O2 at all?

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Why would you call a premium rate number five times? Did they phone you saying they were O2 before you called them?

I DO NOT WORK FOR O2

To be honest I'm bored so I decided to Google this number, and I got nada, zippo, zilch, Then because I have an office phone for which I pay no bills in front of me I gave it a buzz, after a "we are trying to connect you message" it was answered and it did say "welcome to o2, please enter the O2 number you are calling about"

That said, to the best of my knowledge O2 use very few premium rate lines, the only one that springs to mind is the O2 Genie line, that was the pay and go sim where you paid a £10 top up and got 300 free texts etc. That said that was very much the exception as opposed to the rule, best advise is to ring 202 (monthly), 4445 (pay and go) or 80002 (business). If it is a genuine contact there will be notes on the system, if not then hope you didnt give out too much personal information.

I suspect it is one of o2's "trusted partners" such as Aerial

Would be interesting to know what prompted the calls to this number and where it was obtained from? @Anonymous could u pop back with that extra info please?

I was charged £10 as well on Saturday 21/05/2016 and it is getting used at the moment and it says on my Bill it belongs to O2, so be aware and don't use it
