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.
