It rang twice then they hung up. Obvs some PPI dopes.
Just also had the same as everyone else with this number, didn't ring it back though :)
I keep getting calls from this number. When I answer there is nothing there .
Rang for a few seconds then cut off
Annoying callers who put down the phone when I answer!
Missed a call from this number; almost no-one outside my family has my mobile number so pretty much knew it would be a call centre of some kind. Looks like I was right!
Just had a call from this number but they called off after a couple of rings. Glad to see it wasn't worth bothering about.
Didn't bother answering and then saw these comments, good job I didn't answer!
