Beep every day
 

My brother has his own business that relies a lot on the telephone for new and existing business, so he has his answer phone set up to pass on calls missed at home to his mobile.

Every day for the last two years he has been recieving a nuisance call that when answered all you hear is a beep, no voice
Automated of course but how the heck can he stop it. He has had to stop his call divert as he was paying the cost of the call just to get the beep.

VM suggested buying a box for £50 that is supposed to stop it or get a new number.
£50 seems a little too much to pay just to maybe get rid of it and a new number is not an option.
Trucall is too pricey too so have anyone got any ideas how to stop this bleepin' BLEEP?

Sounds like a fax or computer modem trying to connect. Can you get any 1471 info from the call?

I had the same thing years ago when I was on BT, but it stopped after a few days.

Thanks for the reply Digital Fanatic but when his phone rings its setup to accept faxes then if not a fax it rings the phone. If the phone does not get answered then it gets transferred to his mobile.
And theres the rub,getting the transfer charges for a damn bleep!!!!

So its not a fax and not recieved at the same time every day, and sometimes twice.

I suggested he ask his bank incase they are harrassing him using their terrible automated call system.
