Similarly, they won't get your location (beyond narrowing down to the area covered by your exchange, which they can from the number anyway).

Finally, I did put that number into google. One of the pages returned was http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/d...s-with-bt-text, so, yes, it is a BT number.
Hi Stuart, thanks for the welcome and your reply. This number has been cloned, I guarantee it by personal experience. I notice you said 'one' of the pages that google returned was relevant to the BT service. What's the negative % of reports about this number when compared to the positive ones online? Include all reports on the first two pages google returns.
