BT voice text to my landline?

[#1]

Today i got a voice text from BT 0800 587 5290
so i called plusnet to be pointed to BT got given 2 numbers first didnt work second one was 08544 and i couldnt talk to anyone one it because i dont have a BT account 
so i called bt HO to be told im down on their marketing system.... now what confuses me is ive never had anything to do with BT (other than via plusnet)
never been on BT website never opted into their marketing... so do PN customers automatically get opted in to their marketing system? if so why was i not made aware when i changed address?

Hi Warbleeder,
I'd recommend raising a complaint on bt.com
You should ask BT why you are on their marketing system in the first place.

[#3]

i tried to ask them but it dose not help when u get someone who can barley understand a word you say or barley speaks English....

[#4]

Follow their complaint procedure and raise one online.  I'm sure they'll be able to sort things out for you.

well BT dont give a toss..... been waiting 3 days (4 days on 23rd) for a reply and nothing... not bad to say their website has a 24 hour reply time..
wouldn't these text be classed as harassment  as i have reported to plusnet on several occasions so maybe plusnet could/should do something as been my home phone provider?
BT have not taken the complain and im giving till Tuesday.... or i contact ofcom and peruse a harassment case 
BUT i do know ofcome will ask me if PN have done anything and if PN have not why not
so please let me know if plus net can A.S.A.P

You're supposed to call 0800 587 5252 and use the automated menu to set the times you want to receive these messages, and you can select not to have them. But, for some reason, they started coming from 0800 587 5290 and I had to call BT on 0800 077 771 to get them to remove my number from their system.

ive all ready had them stopped but I want to figure out how I was opted in for these

Hi warbleeder,
BT's complaints procedure is your best course of action in dealing with this matter as Jameseh has suggested.  Can you confirm if you were provided with a reference number when you raised your complaint that you could use to chase this?  Have you tried BT's own customer support forum for advice?

[#9]

I'd like to know the outcome of this as well.

[#10]

well seems im off to of-com as im getting nothing from bt and it has been over a week now
if i get a reply ill copy and post in here.... all i want to know is how i ended up on their marketing system

[#11]

Email isn't part of their complaints procedure.

You have proof that it left your PC, but unless you requested and have received back a delivery or read receipt you have no proof it arrived.
