teewestwood reported British Telecommunication (BT) with the number 08456021111 as Trustworthy number
this number was phoning me 5 times in a couple of hours until I found out it was somebody who had sent a text message to my landline! this call is from BT's text to speech service!
EmJayPee replied 3/7/14, 10:48 AMI had this too, said the text message was unreadable.Clancy replied 7/16/16, 8:54 AMSo glad to find out it was just my husband sending a text to our landline by mistake! Thanks!Anon 13 replied 9/10/23, 5:01 PMAttachments and links will likely cause this text to speech to landline translation and relay service number to fail and the whole message will be lost. You should be told the originating number when you pick up that annoying ringing phone. -

Meant to give this a 1 rating as safe. Just don't press any button on your phone as requested. Just hang on.
This text audio translation service will not filter out scam texts but you will be told the originating number when you pick up

Anon 13 reported British Telecommunication (BT) with the number 08456021111 as Trustworthy number
This number is owned and operated by BT Openreach and is used by most phone operators to relay audio translations of text messages someone sent to your landline. Unless you change the settings this number will keep calling between 7am and 10pm until it is answered or it times out and deletes the message after 24 hours
The computer will tell you to press 1 to pick up the message after telling you the originating phone number. Never press any button. Just hang on and the free to answer message will eventually be read out.
Try testing the system by sending a text to your landline. That's what these calls sound like if genuine.
Be aware that the BT computer does have limitations. If can't work with answerphones and will struggle with txt tlk lolx xx lol ;-( emojis links and long complex numbers -

James reported British Telecommunication (BT) with the number +448456021111 as Trustworthy number
Text message came through to my landline. This number called, computer voice said it was BT, told I had a text message and told me the number that sent it. Hung up at that point but checking my contacts list as this number called again. Same message but picked out the number as someone I know. Pressed 1 this time. Friend sent message to my landline by mistake. The computer read it out. Not with BT so a bit confused. although I know Openreach look after the phone lines into my house. I think this must rate as trustworthy as introduction clear and can be checked.

Anon 13 reported SMS Message with the number 08456021111 as Trustworthy number
Just had another audio text to my landline via this number. Someone I know clicked on my landline number by mistake when sending the text. It keeps happening. Info that I have got to know about this service copied below.
This number will keep calling your landline because someone has sent a text to it. The system is attempting to relay an audio translation. This is the BT owned text to speech to landline translation and relay service number used by most phone operators and many businesses and organisations. It has been operating for nearly 2 decades. Be aware that the system can’t work with answerphones and will keep on and on trying to deliver the message until it times out and deletes the message after 24 hours, or is blocked, or is answered. The system is free to answer. It only works on landlines. You can call back within the 24 hour period to retrieve your message. There is a business rate charge of 5p per minute plus your network connection charge to call back
When you pick up the call, the system will tell you the originating number and then give you options to press buttons on your phone. IGNORE THE OPTIONS. Just hang on and the computer will read out the message when it runs out of options. That is the safest way to pick up your message – no one should press a button on your phone just because a computer tells you. Be aware the system is not perfect. The system has problems translating long complex numbers like order/reference numbers or txt abbreviations and can’t handle emojis/links/attachments which could cause the entire message to fail. Scam texts can’t be filtered out but the scam number to report is the originating number not this relay number.
This number will NOT call between 11pm and 7am. It is possible to change the curfew time or block this number at source by calling 08005875252. You can also do this by sending a text to your own landline (also a good way to check/test/verify this number). This number will call. It is free to answer. It will tell you your mobile number (that confirms the call is genuine) and then the options will include blocking or changing the curfew time. Think before blocking genuine business numbers
If you want to block this number, make sure there is no chance that you could get a text to your landline. Such texts could be from friends or relatives sending texts to landline by mistake. Texts could also be from any businesses or organisations that have your landline number as the contact and many of these will send automated text messages to the contact number. These could include gas, electricity, water, phone/broadband providers, school, work, NHS, pharmacy, dentist, optician, insurance company, and any other company or organisation given your landline number as the contact number. And ONLY give your mobile number when making appointments or ordering stuff for delivery or collection. I’ve had audio text messages to my landline from many of these sources over the years with no problems. Also be aware that there are parts of the UK with patchy mobile reception and there are some people who do nor own a mobile so they have no option but to give a landline number as the contact.
A google search of this number and checking ALL the results will provide more info. Also check the banner post above. -
Sedna reported British Telecommunication (BT) with the number +448456021111 as Trustworthy number
BT text to landline audio translation service. Very annoying as keeps ringing until you answer and clicks off when answer phone clicks in. Answered after ignoring several calls. Suspicious as voice told me to press 1 to hear message as this usually means connecting to a scam premium rate number but recognised the originating mobile number. Relative sent text to my landline by mistake. Hope scammers don't spoof this number!!

This number called my landline with a delivery confirmation message. It was an automated BT messaging service but not with BT. I didn't press any buttons on my phone when requested. Just let the computer voice talk on. The message was read out and it made sense. I gave my landline number as the contact when ordering the item.

0845 6021111
This is a legitimate BT service, it's automated to read aloud text messages sent to your land-line number. You can control this by calling freephone 0800 587 5252 (yes, it's free). For those who say "I'm not on BT" you're missing the point, you don't have to be a BT customer, it's a free service. Just call freephone 0800 587 5252 (yes, for free! ) then listen to the options. Simples! -
Kevan reported British Telecommunication (BT) with the number +448456021111 as Trustworthy number
This is a genuine BT service that delivers messages sent as texts to landline phones. I have had legitimate texts and I have had unsolicited ones. The number is not a scam, it simply relays messages from multiple sources indiscriminately.

jack reported British Telecommunication (BT) with the number +448456021111 as Trustworthy number
Beats me how anyone can decide a caller is a scam without finding out what the call is about! This number will keep calling over a 24 hour period as it is attempting to relay an audio translation of a text some guy sent to your landline. After that time the message will be deleted from the system. You cannot be scammed by picking up the phone and listening. Plenty of info around that explains what to do next if you don't want to press any number.

Didn't answer to start with rang twice, answered third time and it was an SMS message reminding me of a dentist appointment.

Bob reported SMS Message with the number +448456021111 as Trustworthy number
Any calls from this number are SMS (text) messages that someone has sent to you. Usually a contact of yours who has accidentally sent it to your home phone instead of your mobile. If you call 0800 587 5252 you can opt out of this service, or set times of the day when you don't want to receive any messages.

Called this morning. It was an audio text message sent to my landline. I gave my landline number as the contact phone number when making an hotel reservation. I didn't press 1 when requested as wasn't sure what it was but let the message play out. The robo voice read out the message at the end. I had an email confirmation as well.

I suggest you do this if you don't use the service as thousands of pentioners have been scammed out of their life savings. Anon 13 should be familiar with that fact.Anon 13 replied 10/13/23, 10:36 AMI am certainly familiar with the fact that scammers can spoof this genuine BT owned and operated text to speech to landline translation and relay service number. That's why I post how to avoid scammers spoofing this usually safe number so only genuine messages get listened to. (You don't press buttons on your phone when requested and you will not speak to anyone - you just listen and do nothing except listen).

One person who answered the call had £80 added to her BT phone bill!!! If you're with BT and you dial the number directly, BT will let you know if you have any messages. -
Bannana Baroness reported British Telecommunication (BT) with the number 08456021111 as Cost trap
Received a message through this service about a parcel force delivery asking me to press 1. I made no such order. I subsequently called Parcelforce amd they informed me that this is a common scam to get people to "confirm" theor details to a fraudster.
Anon 13 replied 10/2/23, 7:59 PMParcel Force do text ahead of deliveries to give an ETA of when the parcel is expected to arrive at its destination. If the contact number is a landline, the text will arrive in audio format via this BT owned text to speech to landline translation and relay service number.
Delivery scam texts will always have a link to click on. On a landline?
Also, the safety advice posted about this free to answer service tells you NOT to press 1 just because a computer voice asks you to do. Hang on and say and do nothing and the message will be read out.
If you get a scam text via this fully automated service, the scam number to report will be the originating number not this relay number. The system will always tell you the originating number of the text when you pick up.
But also check out the other posts with the name tag 'Bannana Baroness' (and other silly name tags) on this feed and on other phone number checking sites.

Fanjita Patel reported British Telecommunication (BT) with the number 08456021111 as Cost trap
This number is not safe and the green poster knows it. Its very dangerous, scammers are not only spoofing the messaging service to get you to press 1 for a cost trap of being forwarded to a scammer. They are actually able to come through this number as a call and pretent to be from BT and attempt to get details. If you block this service you wont miss any messages because nobody ever has any ! The fact that this green posting grifter sits day and night, 7 days a week 365 days a year trying to get people to think that this number is safe through bare face lies says it all !
Eleanor Chowdry replied 9/27/23, 10:38 PMThank you Fangita for another insightfull post ! I have now blocked the service since it is of no use to me and the scam messages have all but stopped !Anon 13 replied 9/28/23, 9:41 AMInformation about this BT owned text to speech to landline translation and relay service number posted on this feed will tel you not to press numbers just because a disembodied computer voice tells you. The text message will be read out when the computer gets to the end of the list of options. You can't be scammed just by picking up the annoying ringing phone provided you do absolutely nothing except listen.
Most phone providers use this BT service to ensure text messages sent to landlines get delivered. There are several techy companies offering this text audio translation service to clients and the phone operators will not use this BT service if it was inherently unsafe.
This is a fully automated service. The top rated post on this feed will tell you how to block this number if that's what you want but think very carefully before blocking genuine business numbers unless there is no chance that you will get genuine calls from that number.
Blocking numbers will not reduce the scam calls and texts we all get. Scammers will just keep using any one of millions of computer generated fake or spoofed numbers. Scam numbers and the scam details should be reported by text to '7726' as well as on number checking sites like this one. (This number is just a relay number. The originating number will be told to you by the computer when you pick up the phone). For more details about scams and scam reporting google 'action fraud' and go onto the 'police.uk' siteWizards Sleeve 1 replied 10/22/23, 1:44 PMYour useless word salads make no diferenc3. We all know what the service is and what it does.

This is a bt tx to audio service, the fact that its obvious fraudsters are using it is enough to set alarm bells ringing, and the fact that the green poster still insists this number is safe to use when 99.9% of everyone else says different, for christ sake, one sad little man, and only one sad little man on a crusade to get us all scamed, the proof this service is dangerous is right there for all to read, but yet the green post compulsive liar still says there fake, SERIOUSLY.

The posts that I put on tells you how to avoid scammers misusing this BT owned and operated text to speech to landline translation and relay service number (you just pick up the ringing phone and do absolutely nothing except listen). It is a free to answer service. Only very daft people will press numbers on your phone when a disembodied computer voice tells you. Hang on and the message gets read out. You can't be scammed by just listening. Don't do anything else. Most phone providers use this BT system and have been doing so for many years.

This was not automated text it was an Indian sounding women saying she was from BT and that she was calling because there was a problem with our internet speed. I said the internet was fine - she hung up.

It calls landlines with an audio translation of a text message someone sent to it. You will never speak to a real person when you answer the call. It will only call landlines. It is not a scam number per se. Most calls will be genuine text messages that someone sent to a landline. Spoofed genuine business numbers are a serious and dangerous problem that this government must tackle - one of its many roundtoits. -

Why can't BT block this number
This is not 0845602111Gatsby replied 5/12/22, 3:02 PMThis IS a BT number. Relays audio translations of text messages sent to a non-text enabled landlines and used by most phone operator. Usually safe to pick up and listen. DO NOT press any buttons on your phone when this number calls as instructed by the computer - just keep listening. This service is free to answer. Try sending a test text to your landline 2c what happens. This is an opt out service. One option you will be given when you pick up is to opt out of future calls. Takes about 30 mins to kick in. -
Kind Katie reported number +448456021111 as British Telecommunication (BT)
This is a genuine BT number, which has been spoofed.
If it is a scam, you will be asked to press 1 to listen to the message.
If it is BT, you will be able to hear the message by continuing to hold.Gatsby replied 9/14/21, 3:24 PMThis genuine BT number, used by most phone operators and many businesses and services, is a text to landline audio translation and relay system. It calls landlines when someone sends a text to it. When you answer, the computer will ALWAYS tell you the originating number before offering you various options including 'press 1' on your phone key to pick up the message. Obviously, the originating number should be checked before pressing 1. Alternatively, when this number calls, just send a text to your landline. Next time it calls (it will keep trying to deliver the message for 24 hours) pick up the phone and if one of the originating numbers is your mobile you will know the call is genuine and not spoofed. If the other text is a scam, no harm in listening, just report that originating number as the scam. Haven't tried hanging on when this number calls but may do that next time someone texts my landline - happens occasionally. Bit of a “Déjà vu” experience here methinks.Gatsby replied 3/29/22, 1:23 PMThis number called the other day with an audio text message from my electricity supplier - OVO. They only have my landline number as the contact. The usual introductory message from the computer but I didn't press 1 to hear the message. This time I let it run on to the end of the spiel. It does go on a bit as it works through the various options. The computer then read out the text message without my having to do anything or press any buttons on my phone.
