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"
