BT Text‑to‑Speech Calls: Scam or Simple Service?

Expert Opinion
Around dusk, dozens of callers reported hearing the same automated voice from +448456021111. The number belongs to BT’s Text‑to‑Speech relay service that converts incoming SMS to an audio message for landlines. Because the service reads the originating number, scammers sometimes hijack it to deliver fake parcel or billing alerts, which explains the frequent “scam” labels. The calls are generally harmless if the message is simply listened to and no keypad input is entered. To avoid annoyance, add the number to a block list, disable BT’s text‑to‑speech feature with your provider, or send a test text to confirm legitimacy. Listen before you act, and never share personal data over the line.

A recorded message presented several options when I received a call on my non-BT landline, which I ended promptly due to suspicions; interestingly, I had received an unusual email from a purported Amazon shipping address on my mobile just a minute prior.
Received a call on my non-BT landline, it was a recorded message with a few options, seemed suspicious so i ended the call, then i saw a email on my mobile from no-reply@shipping.amazon about a shipment, wich is not the usual message, i think these two events are connected, i've reported it to Amazon

BT service is confusing and possibly a scam
The number provided, allegedly for a BT service, was not requested and it is unclear why it was assumed to be wanted, as a standard landline for voice calls would have been sufficient

This feed is for 008456021111, likely a Vietnamese number. Don’t confuse it with 08456021111, which is BT’s text-to-speech service for landlines.
It appears that this number is used by BT to notify customers of attempted text messages on their landline.

Finally, the moderators are taking action by removing the nonsensical green posts. It's about time! Just so you know, the individual with the blue post should probably return to their own peculiar activities!

This number is a scammer, dont answer it, just block it
Earlier today, I received an audio text message on my landline, which I had provided as a contact number while making a hotel reservation; although unsure about the message's purpose, I let it play out without pressing 1 as requested
The text-to-speech service associated with this number has a faulty 'Do not disturb' feature, which fails to prevent calls, including those that come in during the middle of the night.
A message was received regarding a parcel delivery, requesting that I press 1; however, I had not made any such order, and upon contacting Parcelforce, I was informed that this is a common scam to obtain personal details
