07061706455


July 9th, 2008

I received a single ring call from an unrecognised mobile number today and I performed the obligatory Google to check it before ringing back. I didn’t get any results so I’m posting this in case someone else is looking for info on 07061706455. This is a phone company trawling for responses. Do not call them back.

As I couldn’t find any info on this number I called them using a different line, it clicked through to a call center.

Call Center: “Hi there, I’m sorry I tried to call you but a technical fault must have cut me off”

I’m calling on a different line. Honestly.

Anyway, don’t ring the number.

DRM free


January 11th, 2008

Lots of places are reporting that Amazon are selling music from every member of the ‘big four’ as DRM free mp3s. Can’t quite believe it’s happened but it’s not before time. Anyone dare to predict whether the p2p/torrent hordes can be persuaded to return to legal music purchases? Perhaps it’s enough to entice new downloaders who haven’t discovered p2p or torrents yet as computer based home entertainment systems and media centres become more common.

Virgin Media

I’m having difficulties getting through to customer services on 0845 454 1111. I can navigate the menus (joy) but get a (engaged?!) beeping noise when I would expect to be put on hold for 1/2 hour. Any other Virgin customers experiencing the same?
