0115611200

I also got phone calls from this number  - about three times over the last few days.  When I call back on a landline to this number I get an engaged signal.  Has anyone found out whose number this is?

I just spoke to TELKOM about this - I phoned their fraud line.  The lady said we would have to go to the police and the police would have to subpoena TELKOM to trace the number.  That would be the only way to get to bottom of this.  So if a whole bunch of us go to the police and file complaints then maybe that will trigger a subopena and telkom will trace it.

I FOUND THE COMPANY THAT IS MAKING THESE CALLS - HERE'S WHAT YOU DO TO STOP THEM

I got this off another internet page - and called the desk number below - the lady admitted that their company was using the number, and said she was aware of a large number of people who are not happy about these mystery-no-content calls.  

She said my number would be off their system in 24 hours.  

So phone them, you guys, and hold them to their promise to remove your number.   I warned the operator that the next level would be people going to the police and getting subpoenas etc as in my other post.  Poor girl is just trying to do her job and her boss who is"in a meeting" leaves her in the firing line.  


I live in Jobrug and started receiving calls from this number after trying to opt out from an unsolicited SMS campaign. The calls come through every 20 minutes or so which is very annoying. I called the national telephone company Telkom and was informed that the number belongs to Direct Channel Marketing in Randburg. I did some work and found the following information:

Randburg Square Office Towers,
cnr Oak Avenue and Sentrum Street,
Randburg, South Africa
T:+27 (0) 11 399 6000
F:+27 (0) 11 787 1154
Email: contact@directchannel.co.za
Web address: www.directchannel.co.za

I called the switchboard on 0113996000 to complain about the calls. I was promptly transferred to a campaign manager by the name of Presley who promised to immediately remove me from their 'Do Not Call' list. I will monitor the situation and if its not improved, I will report them to the Consumer Protection Adjudicator. Presley handled my call very professionally (I am a bit irritated as you can imagine) and therefor I will give them this week to rectify the issue before taking the next step.

I can only hope for a positive outcome.

Hey, please stop calling me from 011 5611 200. I am sick of receiving calls from this land line and they don't even have the decency to answer. They behave like stalkers or something and it is very irritating for me to always answer with no reply especially when I'm driving from Johannesburg back to Pretoria after work. I think i will take this matter further. I am a software developer and get these calls when I'm clients and it is very embarrasing.

Thank you so much for posting the information!  The service manager explained that they have an automated dialling system where the computer dials the number and then put's it through to a call centre agent.  Apparently the system has gone haywire and it dials’ numbers too fast and then there is no agents to take the call - hence the no response when you answer the phone.   The person who assisted me was very apologetic and very helpful.  So phone them and put your number on their no call list!

Me too got calls from this number 0115611200 since last week_very strange when I call them back its engaged

I am now beyond irritated with these people. I get on average 20 missed calls and 11 voicemails from them starting at 08h30 and ending aroun 17h30.  I am now starting a campaign against them after not getting any results from Presley (campaign manager) and the receptionist throwing the phone down in my ear.  If you are getting calls from these people and want to take action, please mail me on daunn@vodamail.co.za.  Keep all the infomation of dates and times that they call. If you can, also keep the voicemails.  You then need to go to the police station and report them. I suggest if you are in Johannesburg that we all go to the same police station so that we can keep the complaints nice and neat and hopefully have it assigned to the same officer/s whom we can follow up with on a regular basis.

Once I have about 10 case-numbers, I will lodge a complaint with Consumer Protection Act. They are in contravention of the act as it clearly stipulates that consumers can no longer be canvassed without having shown an interest in a goods or service first.

Only with your help can we get to these people.

I also received 2 phone calls this morning from this number. Trying to phone the number from my cellphone, with no luck
Try to call this number from my landline, stays engaged.

It is from a company called direct channel which sells insurance products. Phone them on 0113996000 and ask them to remove your number.

I received an average of 10 calls per day from 011 5611200 in the last 2 days.
When I answer or when I call that number - no one answers

i got a call from this number very disturbing

I keep geeting a miss call from this number and the next thing when you call back the line is busy. Please invistigate

Same - missed calls, no one talks, just rings. I have tried saturday eve, sunday eve, with no joy, network busy. As it is a telkom number, should we not try to report to someone in Telkom to track & trace?
