I have just looked on my landline and find that I now have two numbers, the one I have had all the time and a new 0331 672 6947 number I know nothing about.
What is this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @grayham127
Are you being charged for both numbers? Have you recently made any changes to your broadband/landline services?
Chris
OK, thanks @grayham127
If you have a chat with our Customer Support team, they'll be able to have a look at your account and explain what this is for. Would be great if you can come back and share the solution afterwards.

Already did this, they have no idea which is why I am on here!!
You may have a second phone number , you don’t have a second phone line , have you tried calling it from your mobile while at home , does your landline ring , what tone does the caller receive if they call that 0331 number but your phone at home doesn’t ring , is it no tone , number unobtainable tone , busy tone , or ringtone but the home phone doesn’t actually ‘ring’ ?.
Are you on Digital Voice already , still on PSTN ( so your phone is not connected to the BT router its still in the wall socket ) , have you been advised that you will be migrated to DV ‘ soon ‘ , or have you made any enquiries with other providers about your broadband or telephone service ?
Its irrelevant now , but many years ago ( decades ago) , I had two numbers with my broadband, the geographical number ( with a STD code associated with my town/city ) and an ‘internet’ number that was not geographically allocated, calls on this internet number were cheaper than the regular number , and you could switch between the two with a service specific BT handset ….but it’s unlikely to be anything like that , it was discontinued many years ago .
@grayham127 There are some historic reasons due to BT Smarttalk why there may be extra numbers but whether this is the case here I have no idea. Perhaps the moderation team can take the further if the customer service team is unaware.
Some info about what i am refering to in various threads on community such as

Tried ringing it it was a message 'you have dialled an incorrect number'.
Tried deleting it through my BT page but it won't delete.
I've had a little ask-around, @grayham127
My colleague seems to think it looks like a virtual number, which we tend to see on business accounts. Is yours a personal landline, or is it registered as a business account?
Where on the bill does it show this second number?
