I used to just put the phone down once I identified that it was a recording but the other day in a moment of complete madness and having nothing else to do I decided to listen in for a while. That’s when I discovered the press 9 etc to continue instead of the premium rate number.

There not being a premium rate number to call, this new ploy of having to press 9 or whatever could have got the curious to press the required number just to see what it is all about. After all nowadays it is not uncommon to go through a series of press this and press that before getting to where we want to go without being charged the earth.

But I’ve done my civic duty in warning others what might happen if they press the required number.
