The provider of the number is www.telecom1.com Contact them, and in the circumstances they will probaly tell you who the renter is.

I am in the process of dowloading the software, thanks for the advise.

I called the telecom1 and after being put on hold after 15seconds (each time) by the receptionist I finaly got a call back from the company and they say that the company that they operate the 0871 number is currently under investigation as other people are reporting the same thing. They have said that I will have to send them a bill for the 0871 calls that are being made and they will send me a check Grin

Agreed, it can't be bad!!

But only if you use PAYG internet calls. This means instead of paying 0844/0845, you instead pay 0871, which is then refunded.

If you pay a monthly fee, for unmetered internet use, you still pay this monthly fee, but make less use of what you've already paid for. In reality, the main beneficiary of this is your normal ISP, who provides less internet than what would normally be required.

Also, when you send off your bill for the 0871 calls, remember to add on something to take account of your printing, photocopying, and postage costs.

I realy hait itt wen peeple canot spel proply. Itt getts onn mye nervs sew mutch annd streses mee owt. Knot onley iz itt vary bade speling butt allso bade gramer.

Theyll prob ask for a copy of the bill where you were charged for the 0871's, enclose a photocopy of your bill and blackout any other calls and times and stuff.
