Kind Katie reported number +448456021111 as British Telecommunication (BT)
This is a genuine BT number, which has been spoofed.
If it is a scam, you will be asked to press 1 to listen to the message.
If it is BT, you will be able to hear the message by continuing to hold.Gatsby replied 9/14/21, 3:24 PMThis genuine BT number, used by most phone operators and many businesses and services, is a text to landline audio translation and relay system. It calls landlines when someone sends a text to it. When you answer, the computer will ALWAYS tell you the originating number before offering you various options including 'press 1' on your phone key to pick up the message. Obviously, the originating number should be checked before pressing 1. Alternatively, when this number calls, just send a text to your landline. Next time it calls (it will keep trying to deliver the message for 24 hours) pick up the phone and if one of the originating numbers is your mobile you will know the call is genuine and not spoofed. If the other text is a scam, no harm in listening, just report that originating number as the scam. Haven't tried hanging on when this number calls but may do that next time someone texts my landline - happens occasionally. Bit of a “Déjà vu” experience here methinks.Gatsby replied 3/29/22, 1:23 PMThis number called the other day with an audio text message from my electricity supplier - OVO. They only have my landline number as the contact. The usual introductory message from the computer but I didn't press 1 to hear the message. This time I let it run on to the end of the spiel. It does go on a bit as it works through the various options. The computer then read out the text message without my having to do anything or press any buttons on my phone. -
Troll basher reported British Telecommunication (BT) with the number +448456021111 as Trustworthy number
Perfectly safe number unless your name is jack then it's a scam, what scam nobody knows but it's a scam , and if you disagree with said jack he will abuse and threaten you because she always gets found out and has a tantrum .
JACK THE SPRAT replied 3/3/21, 4:18 PMPerfectly safe ONLY if you understand how it works and know how to check for scams and pick up the genuine text calls to a landline. Idiotic trolls called all kinds of names can end up getting even the helpful posts about this number removed. That could mean someone missing an important message. -
Angry SKY customer reported British Telecommunication (BT) with the number 08456021111 as SMS spam
Constantly calls. I'm not even with BT so why am I be receiving BT SMS to landline messages?
Jack Spratt replied 2/23/21, 12:28 PMSky uses the BT/Openreach network for landlines and uses the BT system to relay an audio translation of a text someone sent to your landline. Very annoying but try sending a text to your landline and see what happens. Texts are deleted after 24 hours so you have lost the original message. -

S reported British Telecommunication (BT) with the number 08456021111 as SMS spam
Got a call from this number saying it was Bt message service and to press 1 to hear message, I hung up the phone. 10mins later I got another call, so I pressed 1 and the message said Tesco and then started to ramble off loads of numbers. It’s believe it’s some sort of scam.
Jack Sprat replied 1/17/21, 1:14 PMAs this message never read out the originating phone number, it was most likely a scam where fraudsters spoofed (copied/cloned) this genuine text to landline audio translation service number. Loads of posts on various sites about this usually safe number with some explaining how the system works and how to avoid the scams. The computer that translates text into audio will spout nonsense if dealing with emojis or links etc.anon 13 or 14 replied 1/17/21, 3:37 PMyou are called Jack Sprat now ? awesome speak soon old man ! -

Pityme reported British Telecommunication (BT) with the number 08456021111 as Cost trap
Yesterday evening and twice this morning mentioning a delivery of millions, wonder if that could be true.......erm
It's Not Me replied 9/23/20, 9:25 AMThis is a text service that relays an audio translation of a text sent to a landline. This number can be 'spoofed' but the call will be just like any scam call. You are unlikely to get more than one call. If the text is a scam, the originating number will be scam number to report and once you answer and listen to the text you will not get repeat calls. Many posts around explaining how this system works and how to avoid the scammers.sparky replied 10/3/20, 6:09 PMutter tosh ! -

Have been called 7 times in 3 hours. I am not answering. On another site someone said this
'everyone try 08005875252 then choose BT options 1 then 5 to turn it off'
I have tried this and not had another call yet, but I only rang the above service 30 mins ago. It may work. -

A Davison reported number +448456021111 as British Telecommunication (BT)
This number called us five times on our landline in one evening - we didn't answer as we could see the number was 0845 and when we googled the number we read all the other comments. Really hope it gets banned soon as obviously a lot of unhappy people getting calls late at night.

bee reported number +448456021111 as British Telecommunication (BT)
Had 10 calls Monday, 8 calls yesterday between 7a.m. and 11p.m. and 7 so far today. I have a call blocker phone so have blocked the number and it doesn't ring (fortunately!) but records mumbers date and time of all in coming calls. Had a warning via neighbourhood watch about scammers using this number. Whatever you do don't ring them back its a premium rate number. If I remember rightly BT text messages go to your answering service for you to collect? The scammers don't leave messages...why would they? They want you to press the button and get charged for the call or ring them back.
