Last night, a wave of calls from +18456021111 left many households uneasy. The number is tied to BT’s SMS‑to‑voice relay service, which dials landlines when a text is sent to a number that can’t receive SMS. Because the service can generate calls even without a pending message, it often feels like a nuisance or scam. If you receive one, let it go to voicemail and verify the content before calling back. You can cancel the feature by dialing 0800 587 5252, option 5, or ask your provider to block the number. Never share personal details unless you’ve confirmed the source.
This number appeared on my bill on Christmas Eve, despite not having been dialed, and will be reported to Virgin for clarification
After returning a call from this number, it was discovered to be BT's sms text store, which, although a legitimate service, had been causing confusion due to the lack of voice texts.
This evening, I recieved three phone calls from this number, all after 9pm. I didnt get to the phone in time the first time, and after dialing 1471, I didnt answer the other times. It was getting very annoying...... and now they are calling again!!!! I dont know who they are, but they are drivng me crazy!!
It is apparently BT SMS service
It's just a text message service...if someone sends a text to your land line that is the number that comes up, your message will never be the same as anyone elses! if you dont think this is correct try sending a text to your landline and see what happend...
I have no idear who these jokers are, but they called me 12 times one evening, the last call beeing at 10 PM, wich is not funny when you have kids sleeping.
This number continues to make unsolicited calls.
The late-night call from this number, which occurred at 10:30 PM on a Saturday, though not answered, was profoundly disturbing, especially considering the junk nature of such calls, and raises questions about reporting and potential actions against such intrusions.
At really inconvienent times, including when we're asleep, this phone number has phoned me
The necessary information is readily available, and it's crucial to be aware of it.
It's essential to understand that this is a legitimate service, not specific to BT, which allows anyone to send texts to landlines - the text I received was from my parents.
I continously recieve sms text messages on my non-text landline, which i dont respond to, instead i just hang up, but the frequency of these messages is increasing and becomming very anoying, i would apreciate any help in stopping these nuisance calls, thanx.
Apparently, receivng texts on landline is possiable nowadays, you can get them as a text or voice, alot of companys use this sistem to inform about appointments and deleviry, its pretty usefull, especialy if you can put a curfew on them
To cancel the service, I phoned the BT number and selected option 5 after receiving several calls
It turns out that this number is affiliated with BT SMS services, and calling it back provides options for adjusting the call schedule.

Recent calls from this number are associated with a BT text message service, which relays text messages intended for landlines without texting capabilities, acting as an intermediary on behalf of the sender, similar to a friend passing on a message.
This morning at 9:45, I received a call with a garbled message that sounded like a four-letter word spoken quickly, and I'm not going to bother calling back to retrieve the message
Despite being ex directory, i recieved nine calls from this number within a spand of twenty minuits.
I'm receiving persistent calls on both my landline and mobile from this number; since my landline is a minicom that requires a prefix to connect, they're essentially unable to reach me, but their relentless attempts are frustrating
