In the event that we receive an unexpected phone call, all the alarms about the purpose of the call can go off. It can be spam or telemarketers trying to sell you a product or service and even a dangerous call that could lead us into a scam. Luckily, 689853690 is neither, but a safe number with a useful purpose.
We are going to tell you who this phone number that we have identified belongs to and why you should take their calls.
Who does 689853690 belong to?
Just like the other day we were talking about the telephone number 919042355 and how this is the one used by Amazon for delivery people to contact customers, 689853690 would be the equivalent, but when the distribution of some merchandise is done by the Post Office .
«They are from the Post Office, I was waiting for a package and it was to confirm that I was at home, I confirm it because I received the notice right away on Wallapop as if they had called me by phone. It’s not spam.”
“It’s the postman from the Post Office, who calls to deliver a package that he was waiting for.”
“It was the postal delivery man I was waiting for, very kind of letting me know.”
“They are from the Post Office, I was waiting for a package and they called me, but I was at work and someone else picked it up for me.”
«Post parcel delivery man to confirm that there is someone who will receive the parcel».
“The telephone number is for the Post Office, parcel service, to inform you of any incident with your package, at least in my case when they called me.”
Although there seems to be no doubt about who is behind this number, what we have found have been several complaints about the real reason for these calls and what exactly they were calling for.
«They are from the Post Office, indeed. They use it to call and show that they have contacted the client, they call and hang up quickly, why? Because if you pick it up and you’re waiting for a package, they have to go and deliver it to you, otherwise they already have the excuse that you haven’t attended to them and that way they can organize their work better».
«It only rang once, you don’t have time to pick it up. Shame on the Post Office!”
«They are from the Post Office, they make a missed call and they do not deliver the package. So you have to go to the Post Office and pick it up yourself. It was at home, but the package is big and they don’t take it that way. If the service had been privatized, they would have left it. Anyway”.
How to identify phone numbers
If you want to forget about calls from unknown numbers without knowing who they are, you can use applications such as Hiya, CallBlocker or Pepeescudo , the new free Pepephone application to know who is calling you and protect yourself from unwanted calls even if you are not a client of this operator.
In this way, if they call you from a number considered spam or dangerous, something that does not happen with today’s number but with others, you will receive an instant alert on your mobile phone to prevent you from taking the call and later give you access to block said spam or dangerous number.
You can also use some web pages such as www.listaspam.com or www.responderono.es and do a quick search before taking the call.
