1419620 2016-04-27 05:19:00 Hi Team

I don't use my cellphone very much, and it is off most of the time. When I do turn it on, I invariably find two or three 'missed calls', always with no caller ID, and with numbers such as 183 and +2820001 (as found this afternoon).

Does anybody know where these calls originate?

Cheers

1419621 2016-04-27 14:07:00 Are they missed calls or calls you made? could be the case of pocket dialling. That would mean, the calls originated from your pocket.

Although, the +28 number could come from the phillipines.

Cheers,

Oh? The numbers are actual numbers?
I was lying on the floor with phone in front pocket, guess a bad idea. I lie on the floor a lot, sorry if that's rude, it's better for the arthritis than squashy couches etc

I know!!! My last one died of old age.

Anyone got one for sale?
Must be Telecom compatible, must have spaced apart number keys, not joined together ones.
And not pink.

No chance of pocket dialling, I very rarely carry my phone on my person. If I take it out in my vehicle it sits on the passengers seat and if I go onto a client's site it is switched off.

At home-base it is always off, I prefer landline calls. These messages are never received when my phone is on, always when my phone is off, and I see them sometimes days later.
