AI Summary
Based on 4 community reports
This Southampton & Portsmouth number is being used for calls claiming to be from Utilita energy company, typically about meter upgrades or energy switching. The reports paint a mixed picture - while some callers experienced what turned out to be legitimate Utilita contact after verification, others were told directly by Utilita that these calls are not from them and should be reported as scams.
The confusing aspect is that some people discovered they genuinely did need meter changes when they contacted Utilita independently. However, scammers often exploit this by calling random numbers about common issues like old meters. The safest approach is never to trust unsolicited energy calls, even if they seem to know your details. Always hang up and contact your energy supplier directly using the number on your bill to verify any claims about meter changes or account issues.

4 totalI have been getting phone calls from this number for a week or so. Blocked them and then got the voicemails. Then yesterday I got a phone call off different number but same thing (we are calling from Utilita your meter needs up dating etc) 02382011259. So I did the normal no thank you not interested. Then decided to phone Utilita myself to report them. After talking to Utilita it seems that I did need my meter changed as its over 10 years old and I have now booked an appointment. They did phone again this morning same thing. HI is this *name* and you are with Utilita, but then he stopped and said aw I see you already have your appointment booked. Thank you for your time and good bye. Now I am not saying all these numbers are real and not scams but if your not sure. Just phone your energy company and check it
Said I needed a new smart meter
This number keeps calling and saying they're Utilita. They leave messages about the good things about changing energy supply. I spoke to Utilita, and they told me it's not them and to report it as a scam.
Said they were utilita. Sometimes they say your meter needs changing, sometimes they ask you to switch to them.
