I just gt a call from the sme number but they simply rang off – what a pain!!!!
I just got called by them moments ago. Also got called by them about 6 months ago (both times ignored it).
Oh and I forgot to say you’re #1 on google for 08004584727.
i just got a call from that number at about 5:30 25.01.2006. thought i recognised the number so let it ring off then googled the number,and found this website n noticed it was a good thing not to answer it!i had them a few months ago also and they tried to get me to buy a new contract, they just don’t take no for an answer!
Got one of them calling at 13:48 today, didnt answer it, few minutes later they called again.. answered it and they hung up – stupidly went to call it back as i didnt know who it was and then noticed 0800 so put the phone down.. they called my mobile – how do they get mobile numbers?!?! have emailed my current mobile company (Virgin) advising them of these cold callers and asking ways to block them, and for an explanation of how the hell they had my number in the first place.. annoying SOB`s
Nothing like Google to tell me who 0800 458 4727 are! Thought it might be a wrong number as they never spoke when I answered my mobile. Rang at about 11.23am on 26.01.06. If they call again, now I know who they are I will give them my polite no! If they get pushy get their name and ask to speak to their manager about being cold called. Orange never cold call, they know better than that. If they don’t want to be cooperative sign off the call by saying you will call Orange Customer services and Oftel to complain about them and put the phone down. Cold callers learn not to call me….. Alternatively, just put the phone down next to the radio and carry on doing whatever you were doing. They called so it’s their bill.
Ive had the same problem!! Seems like a very recent thing. Turned my phone on this morning to say i had a missed call from them. As above i was going to phone it back but noticed the 0800. Googled it and ended up here!! Thanx guys!
wow.. 08004584727 seems like a mass cold caller.. my mobile is from orange but i don’t know why orange would cold call me… maybe is a slight malfunction or sth and not anything malicious..
got them two days ago and again today…though it seems to have been a hangup today. asking about being on pay-as-you go, and I’m wondering how the hell they got my number and my account details if they aren’t Orange…
also got call from 0800 458727 and got hung up on, im on orange for gods sake and they are phoning me! if they really wanted to get hold of me why haven’t they sent me a letter or email, instead of prank calling me! I wouldn’t have minded so much if they didn’t hang up but they did the same thing about a week ago!
Had 2 calls from this stupid number at 5am and 6am this morning! Woke me up, both times! Its pathetic!
Received a call off these idiots at 2.30am this morning, needless to say i didnt answer it. Im on 3 and my contract is coming up for renewal and i seem to be getting loads of calls off companies phoning ‘on behalf’ of Three! Any more info in these muppets would be appreciated!!!
just got a call from this number? when i tried ti answer it it went dead
Yup i got the call as well its not just this number there is another i get phone calls from orange need too block this number from all its services – i wont ever pick it up if its got 0800 on it.
if they keep calling me i might actually try and get hold of trading standards or something
Have had a call from these annoying individuals today myself – I’m on Orange..
If you haven’t already tried – one of the following tips may help reduce future calls of a similar nature..
The more people that register their mobile numbers – and then complain – the better.
If you can be bothered – call Orange customer services and report the call as a nuisance call. (This is a long and tedious process – usually involving a callback).
better still call orange and report the dealer to the dealer support team for using a random dialler. From the conversations I’ve had I believe Orange take a dim view of this type of practice.
Ask Orange to put a lock on your account. Basically they have a mechanism to stop anyone else (ie these types of dealer or reseller) making changes to your account (it only allows Orange themselves).
Comment 29 on this blog entry regarding the same number is also interesting IMHO.

I got that phone call as well (found this blog by googling the number)!. Should have told the woman to f*** off, but was making tea in the office and just hung up instead.
I feel honoured to be part of the list! called by 08004584727 at 10:04am but if a name doesn’t come up on my phone I don’t answer.
I just recieved a call from this number, tho i missed it and wouldn’t have answered, especially now ive read the previous comments about it. Thanks for the advice guys i wont be answering this junk or any other numbers i dont recognise.
I have also just received a call from this number but chose to ignore it. 6/2/6 11:45 am
