Phone calls - reverse charges

[Fly]

I'm still dying in the heat now  :! :! :!
I did try, let's see what it brings up during the week

Well no response Fly so now the dog in me has come out of it's kennel.
 
I have spoken to TalkTalk who gave me another number which I rang.

The person suggested there may have initially been an operator who asks if you will take the call - ok I have asked daughter if this has happened and she says no.

Also it was suggested I ring the number -  which I have and get a noise like a fax machine would make?

Have just emailed trading standards for any suggestions they may have.

Probably something very simple but i want to know!!

Had an email from T/S followed by a call today, very helpful lady.

She had spoken to Ofcom who queried if my daughter had any fall detectors etc - which she has.
It seems that these can actually be chargeable if any are faulty - I do know daughter had a call telling her that her bed sensor was registering as having a fault and I also used the button on two occassions after she broke her wrist -first advising them that she wasn't at home - but had a cat which may activate the bed sensor and then I made another one advising them that daughter was back at home. This would maybe explaine why when I tried the number it sounded like a fax machine?

Anyway the lady gave me two names of links where I can register daughter for free to stop telesales (or at least cut them down) also to stop junk mail.

This is the Telephone Preference Service where anyone can register free.
