This call just repeated that we had received text message and how to respond. No mention of who it was from or a subject, so no chance of us responding - too much spam about. Very interesting to see the suggestion about Amazon as we had just had a small envelope pushed throuh the letterbox by them, without knocking or ringing doorbell.

twice it happened when an Amazon parcel was delivered. This system does worry - not used to SMS.
A recorded message from an educated-sounding man told me that there was a SMS text message; press 1 to hear it, or hang up. There was no mention of my name, or who the call was from, or why. This call was to my Bristol, UK, landline, at 18:01 on a SUNDAY. I put the phone down. A few minutes later the same recorded voice gave the same message. In the meantime I had looked on other sites, and several people suggested it was from Amazon, saying a parcel would be delivered - and the second message was to say it had been delivered. I checked my porch - and a parcel from Amazon had been delivered. No-one had knocked, and the parcel would have been visible from the road all night if I hadn't gone to look. Why oh why couldn't the recording simply have said that a parcel was being delivered, instead of both worrying me and infuriating me? I am assuming that the message was from Amazon.
As with other report(s) - message on our landline saying that we had received a text from this number and we had to press 1 to retrieve it. We don't recognise this number and if it had been a genuine call from BT, they normally say so.
A message was left on our answerphone that we had received an SMS text message from this number, press 1 to listen to it. Number not recognised. Another Who Calls Me? site has a report of the same basic message being received today by somebody else, except theirs was press 3 to hear the message. Strongly suspect scam call.
