1471 used to say:
"Telephone number (pause) <number> called (pause) at <time, date>. To
return the call, ..."
In the case of spam/phishing calls, the number was usually starting 07
or 000, though sometimes a landline number, often from the same
exchange. As I've mentioned here before, attempting to block the number
with 1572-1 always said "last answered call, from an unknown number -
sorry, this number cannot ..." (obviously 1471 and 1572-1 use different
ways of determining the last calling number).
But for the last few, 1471 has said:
"Telephone number (pause) called (pause) at <peeeeeep>" - i. e. it's not
giving either a number or a time, and then disconnecting. [1471
_should_, if it can't access the number, say either "the caller withheld
their number" or some sort of apology. Not just blanks and a hangup.]
Anyone else getting this on 1471?
