I wonder if it might have been the automated calling in a call centre in India where calls are made automatically and if anyone in the call centre is available they will speak with you, though if no-one is available to take the call because all the operators are busy then no-one will be on the line when you answer.
It would have been morning time in India at 5.30am here.
....nuisance calls from Companies, when they continually re-dial your number it is with the hope that you will answer and this usually activates a recorded message "Congrats you've won this, that or t'other" what you do is continually press the * button on your phone about ten times, this seemingly is not recognisable by their system and it causes mayhem on their side.
I've had quite a few phone calls from Indian call centres from companies that I have no dealings with, usually mobile phone companies and credit card companies. Where they get my ex-directory phone number from I don't know...I've had no dealings recently with any companies that use those call centres.
Podd,
I live in hope I will stay free of these nuisance calls, next mission is to stop all these leaflets coming through my letterbox, they should charge these companies a litter tax, might stop them filling up my recyclable bin with them each week.
Bushfire can I ask you did you get the calls sorted?.......
With some cold calls there can often be a significant delay between you answering and the person at the other end launching into their script. This can make them seem like nefarious crank calls. It can be quite disconcerting!
its illegal to cold call ex-directory numbers. as I informed Eircom two weeks ago.
Huh!? Doesn't make any sense to me...According to Eircom this is a common problem with DECT phones which don't have their caller ID activated correctly.
