Anyone had this before? I'm gonna call VM but I just know it's going to be tough. I'm offering the following odds:

15-1 resolved by first person I speak to
12-1 resolved by second or third person I speak to
6-4F passed from pillar to post, not resolved, calm state of mind will turn to anger

I'm putting a pound on the 15-1 outsider on the hope that this time I call, it'll be alright.
If your neighbour has Sky as their phone company, then it's got nothing to do with Virgin Media as to the "unknown" numbers on your bill. They are on 2 separate networks as Sky use BT lines.

Have you both got similar cordless phones?
