possible phone scam

[Jonny M]

Well I have, several times over!

If I have a missed call from a withheld number on my 6100, it says I have a missed call from (no number). It never just acts like there was never a call.

Oops! Forgot about 078xx numbers. Yes, they're proper mobile numbers as well.

Yeah, mines a 078#

To those people saying the maximum that can be charged on a phone number is £1.50 thats totally untrue.

You can set up your own private network which means you can charge any amount you desire and i asume have any number you desire. Obvisouly this is costly but if they can get £50/min then you work it out

Also, you know how mobiles work. You can setup diverts. Make the caller dial a mobile number which has divert setup and it can be diverted to any number without the user knowing

Have you spoken to ICSTIS about this? Oh no, I thought you hadn't...

Don't understand what you mean.

If you put the number in the first post on their website it says:

ICSTIS does not regulate this type of number. However we can tell you the following.
This is classified as being used for Personal Numbering.
It is provided by Redstone Communications Ltd.

Redstone? Don't know anything about them. Could possibly be a private network?
