You been BlueSnarfed! You need to make sure your HS is set to be not visible to other BT devices--although I guess that won't work while you're using it! Anyway, somebody nearby with a BT device hijacked you... Ain't technology grand? 😳 😲 🙄

You have a neighbor that is stealing your bluetooth connection to call overseas. Definately read your manual and take your BT device out of "discovery" mode.

No I don't know how to do it myself. ☹️

Contact whomever you have your bluetooth device call out with. Be it a landline or wireless device.

Inform them that you caught someone in the area making long distance calls by stealing your BT access. You believe the phone numbers are going to England.

Ask them if they have a listing of any overseas calls IMMEDIATELY! If there were any calls done when you did not catch them.....

FYI,

011 is the code to dial to get international from the US.

44 is the country code for the UK.

0870-020-0140 would be the number to dial if one were in the UK, you drop the first 0 when dialing from outside the UK.

Try looking up number search BT's website, worst case you find the part of the UK where 0870 is based. That part of the number is like an area code in the US.

My bad, you need the first five digits, so 08700 should give you a location in the UK. But I tried it on streetmap.co.uk without success.

To try it out choose Tel Code and use 01666, you'll find a map of Wiltshire, England, specifically at town called Malmesbury.
