Hi everyone, when i call my partners 2 different mobile phones starting his number with 141 (to withheld my number) it goes threw to a police sargents answer phone, and then tells me to press option 0... when doing this i get transfered to our main police station. I called my land line provider,(virgin media) and was told there is nothing wrong with my house phone, they apparently ran some checks and even called one of my boyfriends phones starting with 141, .... typically it never happened for them. but they assured me this was very odd and my land line was faultless.
his 2 mobile phones are on different networks, and this only happens when i put 141 at the beginning of his numbers,not every time but 3 out of 5 times i call him like this, this happens... Ive called other people in the same way and this is not happening with there phones just his ???

I would be very suspicious.

Why has you partner got 2 mobile phones and why do you need to hide your ID from him.

And what has he/she/you done wrong for you to consider the Police would be taking an interest.

Has your partner configured his mobile phone(s) to redirect to another number when it is engaged and he receives a call or when his phone is switched off? Has he incorrectly specified the forwarding number? (does the area code of yours/his landline start with 0112x? if he omitted the 0 then it would dial 112 which is also an emergency number.
