I am constantly getting premium calls from 0843 numbers, they ring once and then ring off. If you call back you get a automated message and get charged approx 60p. Is there any way to block all premium numbers?

Hi @Nelb 

Customer service can put a bar on these services so give them a call Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support 

Have a look through this thread

Guide: Have you fallen for or been conned into a premium rate scam? What to do next 

The two bars you need applying are ...

 

  • Bar all Direct to Bill Debits (Charge to mobile)
  • Premium Bar (calls to premium numbers, 090, 070 etc.)

Also never ever call them back, you will be charged.
