Be careful with this number. It quoted my name and stated that it was an important message. Press. One and two. To confirm Who you are. It sounds like a scam to me. So we didn't reply. It sounded like someone from the NHS. Now reporting this to the NHS And my telephone provider.
I had this on voicemail, o2 said it was 4 minutes long. I can't speak Welsh but I'd just come back from holiday there where I'd been in A&E because I'd fell down some dangerous stairs at my holiday cottage. I assumed it was something to do with that, so, I pressed 1, 2 and 9 thinking it was going to say it in English instead. After reading these posts I'll block it.

I got this call in Welsh purporting to be from the NHS calling about my wife in hospital. I wonder if the hospital wifi (provided by a subcontractor for several NHS establishments) has been hacked. It sounded like a scam so I hung up
This number called me asking to press 1, 2 or 9. Just hung up. I only answer to people who know me.
Left a message in Welsh and and to confirm my name which I did not. That’s 2 times they have phoned. I’m Welsh only I cant speak Welsh.
Similar experience. Did not continue with call as the caller did not state who they were or where they were from.
it activated the answerphone and blocked attempts to ring off for some time
Likely to be a scam better to block. They're trying to get to connect if its legit then they will send a letter
If this is you press 1. If it is not you press 2. To listen to the message again press 9. Nothing else was said whatsoever. On impulse I did a redial. 'This number is not accepting calls at the moment, please try later.' Recorded voice preceded and followed by silence.
