Not a question - sorry - but a word of warning. I recently received a missed call from a number starting 07040. Assuming it to be another mobile, as it started 07, I rang it back, as I have a home business and it could have been a customer.
I was greeted with a recorded message telling me to hold for the next available operator. After another 20 seconds or so, I was told there was nobody available and the call terminated.
Checking on the ICSTIS and OFCOM sites, the company issuing this number is currently under investigation for doing scams like this.
Not cost a lot of money, granted, but don't return any such calls you get.

Regards,

John Galvin.

"Adnan K" - couldn't help but notice you don't allow emails. Pity.

Try the hair dryer and rice solutions. If that doesn't work, it's time for you to get the water resistant phone, the Sony Xperia Z or ZR haha!

Thanks - already know. Had one on New Year's Day, & loads last year. Most genuine mobiles start 077 or 079, & they don't hang up til I answer the call. The 070 calls cost a fortune, so don't EVER call them back.
