Thanks Pauline,

I have had three calls to my mobile in the last two weeks without a caller ID. I have knocked them back. Apparently there are more sophisticated ones which take your account details and run up a bill even when you are not using your phone.
I am so glad I use Pre-Pay. There is never more than £15 credit there.

I've passed it on to a couple of other forums, thanks Pauline.
