Hi,
Just wondering if any one has had a similar experience - our phone rang several times from around 5.30 this morning. Initially the answering machine was on but the caller didn't leave a message and just kept ringing again and again. I got up and answered it but there was silence at the end of the line - I couldn't hear any breathing or any sounds at all, there was a slight echo-ish sound, almost as if it was an international call, but I'm not sure. It almost seemed like a kind of automated call.
I tried to cut them off by hanging up but they they kept the line open for a while before ringing again.
The Eircom malicious calls office won't be open til Monday so I can't check with them til then, but because 'Private Caller' came up on the phone is there anything they can do to check the number?
Usually when we get international calls 'Unavailable', rather than 'Private Caller', comes up when the number doesn't show on Caller ID, is it likely then that this wasn't an international call? I ask because we have had problems before with a caller from America (who we know), but usually that number shows up or, when it doesn't, it says 'Unavailable'.
Has any one had similar calls? Thanks.
