What kind of number is 08712 00260?
08712 00260 is a UK 08 service number, and this number block was originally allocated by Ofcom to BT (for example 0843, 0844, 0845, 0870, 0871 or 0872).
These carry a service charge on top of your provider's access charge, so calling one back can cost noticeably more than a standard call. If a missed call from an 08 service number is unexpected, it is usually safer to look up the organisation's freephone or geographic alternative than to dial back.
Cost to call: Calls to 084/087 service numbers carry a service charge (up to 7p/min on 084, up to 13p/min on 087) PLUS an access charge set by your own phone provider. Check both before calling.
Is it safe to answer or call back 08712 00260?
Our assessment rates 08712 00260 as medium risk. It sits in a legitimate UK range but there are reasons for some caution (see the warnings above). If in doubt, hang up and call the organisation back on a number you have verified yourself.
What to do if 08712 00260 called you
