My guess would be a burglar or fire alarm auto-dialling 'to check functionality'.   

Firms used to make a bundle with 0870 numbers doing this but there's no possibility of them making anything from it now.
  

After years of ignoring govt. guidelines & RIPPING OFF Council Tax payers using 0845 numbers, Essex County Council changed to 0345 numbers on 2 November 2015

With an Access Charge of up to 12p per minute and a Service Charge of up to 13p per minute this can get expensive.

These numbers can pay out up to around 9p per minute in revenue share. There must be thousands of people in this position.
