Just a quickie... what area of Sheffield has phone numbers that start:

0114 231****

Been getting annoying hanging up calls all week in the day from someone too dim to withhold their number but I don't anyone whose number starts 231....

Thanks

I'm 231 and I'm in Malin Bridge.
Dunno if it works quite like that though.

Thank you very much. I love this forum cos' you can ask such silly questions and get prompt responses.

That would fit to a possible little monkey ( my partner had to fire someone last week and they must be out to annoy).

Ring them back and ask if theyve got the wrong number ! It might stop them ringing and you might find out who it is

Oh pants - it could be half of Sheffield !
I think I will wait until the next call and then I will get my partner to call the number - see if he can suss out who has such a dull life they want to phone me.

Thanks folks.

Rule Number One:

If it is important, they will ring you back!

01234 sounds like an industry "short code" (used for text messages, directory enquires services and the like) - no idea how or why its phoning you though.

Edit: could be the BT line testing robot.
