bastards just called me. lucky i googled to find out who it was

Same here.  But I didn't think that I'd given this particular mobile number to Medibank Private.  Their automated dialler shouldn't dial out if there aren't free telesales agents to pick up the call.

It sounds like it is a computer program where no people are involved that includes voice/sound recognition and does wierd things like record the call, call you back etc. Someone track down who is doing this and stop them please!!!

Oh ok, I keep missing the call. I belong with Medibank, that makes sense.

I hate this number. I missed this number all the time.

First, in relation to A of 8 Sept, you can insist on seeing what you are covered for. Otherwise write to the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman http://www.phio.org.au/I am on the phone now trying to get through to Medibank in relation to a five second call I received today, where nothing was said to me. So far all I have had is a switchboard and then music and the call duration is 20 mins. I have hung up and am trying the switch again.The woman who answered this time says I should not have waited for more than a couple of minutes.The fellow I am now speaking to (after a very short wait) is being very helpful. He confirms that the number does belong to Medibank Private. I think again this is a matter for the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman http://www.phio.org.au/, and also for ADMA http://www.adma.com.au/asp/index.aspI am told it is probably a marketing strategy, and that he and his manager will look into the matter. After a long discussion I forgot to ask for the fellow to place me on a no call list. Dammit!
