talking about digital phone changes and wanted to know if phone & tv were paid for separately. Seemed to know my provider, but could tell me what they were really ringing for. Not a 1st language english speaker.

Was talking about digital phone changes, couldn't understand what he was wanting and when I asked him who he represented he mutterred some name I didn't recognise and certainly not BT. I then hung up
