| 1229090 | 2011-09-06 04:12:00 | Hi Team Last week I decided to change over to XT early and avoid the rush, so I got a nice new Samsung flip-top (clamshell??) for $169 all-up including transfer of my number and contacts etc (all transferred while I waited). But that is not the issue. I accidentally left it turned on while in my office, and just received my first call, from 093660023. It only rang three times, so by the time I prised open the clam, the caller was gone. I called them back, in the faint hope that it was a prospective customer, but got no answer so I looked up the number on the web and it seems that lots of people are getting three-ring calls from this number and no response when calling back. Has anybody here experienced that or located who the caller is? It is all a bit weird. Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused: |

| 1229091 | 2011-09-06 04:19:00 | I too received calls on a brand new Samsung from this number, but was also unable to establish an identity. I rang back on one occasion but the phone wasn't answered. The calls stopped after a couple of days, so God knows who it was. Post here if you find out Billy. | Richard (739) | ||
| 1229092 | 2011-09-06 04:39:00 | I got 2 of those calls. AFAIK it was someone from Telecom checking to see that everything was OK. Same woman each time she was embarrassed that she had forgotten the 1st call. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 1229093 | 2011-09-06 04:46:00 | i think my mum got one of these calls last week or the week before, as she had got a new sim card/phone set-up | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1229094 | 2011-09-07 07:00:00 | Sorted, I think.......... Got another call at very close to the same time today, and it was supposedly a Telecom person (asian, very good english) checking that my new phone was going OK and trying to sell me services. I'm not 100% sure it was kosher as I didn't recognise any of the stuff she talked about and I'm pretty sure she didn't start off identifying herself as Telecom. I still have a gut feeling it is a scam. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1229095 | 2011-09-07 07:06:00 | Speaking of telescum, one of their guys came around last week. Trying to get me onto telecom. I said sure, if you pay the $180 early termination fee. That was the end of that discussion :p | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1229096 | 2011-09-07 07:27:00 | Haha I had the same thing happen to me, except when he said how much data do you use a month and I said about 60gb, then he asked how much do I pay for that and I said about $1.25 per gb. He rifled through his backpack looking for something, pulled out a piece of paper started looking at it and said he did not have a plan for me and then almost ran off. I almost fell over laughing at him. *Nedkelly loves his Xnet plan* |
