 Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostAfter a few seconds where I wait for them in their call centre to pick up the call they made to me...
 
 "Is Kim there?"
 
 "There's nobody here by that name."
 
 "Can I speak to Kim something-Chinese-sounding?"
 
 "I don't know anyone called Kim."
 
 "Do you know how I can contact Kim?"
 
 "I don't know Kim."
 
 "Have you got a business number for Kim something-Chinese-sounding?"
 
 I hung up at that point.
 
 I always hang up at that point. They have called for Kim something-Chinese-sounding every day since this line was connected.
 
 Later, someone will phone from a mobile; that will be a wrong number. I get one of those every afternoon.
 Is this an NTLHell (a.k.a. VirginOnTheRidiculousMedia) line?Comment

 I had the same problem with the guy who rang up from Sky yesterday.Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostI don't know. I can never make out the name because of the accent.
 
 He had a particularly broad Irish accent & I was busting for a pee.Comment

 Try that with a number like "0000000000" and see how far you get.
 
  
 
 Or "0301"
