I have an 070 number on my itemised bill. I know it is a 'personal numbering service' number but I don't know what that is.

I don't recall phoning it and it has increased my phone bill by about £10 in one day!

Is it a scam? or could it have something to do with the new answerphone I installed?

Hope you can help me please.

070 numbers are VERY expensive lines operated by various companies, usually in hospitals so that each and every patient can have a bedside phone, and calls are payable by using the pin from a prepaid card. It works out at something like 10p per minute for just a local call! It also cost a fortune to phone them from a landline, so God knows what the mobiles charge!!!!!

I'm pretty sure that these are "personal numbers" used to direct calls to mobiles or landlines.

They look like mobile numbers,but are charged at 50p/min.
