    Might be the "Um Bongo" marketing department doing a customer survey.

    Link not safe for work - removed

    Just made me think of phonejacker and - I am the man that irons the money - I just need your bank account details.

    You may be able to get the network to block the numbers - if you have voice mail set up its unlikely its just someone trying to reach a relative.

    I have been getting a few calls, usually 111111111 or 11427 and when I answer they hang up. I rang eircom and the guy said that it me be a remote dialer trying random numbers in an attempt to log onto to a PC or a system or whatever. It is bloody annoying.

    Have you ever answered the call? It would be interesting to know if it's some sort of autodialler machine or an actual human on the other end. At least if it's the latter you might have some sort of idea.
