That can actually happen if you have a fault on your Telephone Line .
The specific Fault is called " Foreign Battery " in simple terms it means that your line and another persons line have a resistive connection ( Normally due to a wet cable connection , or faulty cable in the street )
Ask your carrier to do a Line Test on your service , If it comes up as faulty have it repaired and then get the details of the fault so you can dispute your bill .
Cabling to your home is often in a Multi situation , That is Your line may appear at the demarcation point of someone elses home nearby , If they have worked that out , They are probably running up calls on your line instead of their own !
Another situation , (however this one is very rare these days) is if you have a Cordless Phone that does NOT use a security code .
If someone else nearby to your home has a cordless phone on the exact same frequency as your cordless , It is possible that they get your line when they go " Off Hook " on their cordless phone .
The last and most unlikely reason is that an Employee of your Carrier is using your line at the Telephone Exchange or in the street cabinet / pillar cross conections to make their personal calls , But since they would normally have access to 10,000 lines in most exchange area's , That is very unlikely .

are they legitimate numbers? - ie ones that you know?
are they premium rate?
are they mobiles?
Do you have teenagers/children who could have used the phone but dont like to admit it (ie phoning TV quizes at 90p per go)
if you are absolutely sure that no one has phoned these numbers, contact your phone provider and dispute the bill

Get in touch with the phone company and ask them who the numbers are for. If you are still sure that noone in the house has called them, get the phone company to investigate.

1. Someone is lying and they did make the call.
2. Someone is tapping into your phone line and making calls with it.
3. BT (or whichever provider) has got it wrong.
Contact the provider and ask them to look into it.

Somebody is lying, ring the numbers and find out who they belong to, then you should have a fair idea who the culprit is!

*sixty seven is a unfastened function of the telephone organization and no it is going to possibly no longer count despite in case you call a landline to cellular or visa versa. it is going to look to them as "private selection" or "private individual"
