i dont know why but some idiots out there like to call me allot especially from 1am to 5am. up to even 5x times or more and then when i answer and thats if i answer its like eeeee, eeeee, eeee Eish something.

anyone else getting an increase in idiot calling ? (not to mention then 10 odd sms advert craps)
 
Time for a new number me thinks.

lol, well for each spam advert i have made open a case with waspa if only i could do the same with the fools who can't just get it the the first wrong attempt that its not the correct person.
 
I had that at one stage. Saved the number and when I saw it come up, I'd answer in Xhosa and chat a bit (until I ran out of Xhosa phrases that I knew). But then when I'd say that it's the wrong number, they wouldn't believe me. ;)

The person would phone me 3 times in a row - just checking if maybe the person they wanted would answer.
 
i had the idea once of playing some hardcore porn in the background for the first 10-15 seconds and then stop and say "hello?"
 
I also had this person phoning all the time, so I phoned back and got hold of her right in Soweto. Eish, I told her fortune and threatened her with the police and never got bothered again! Eish!
 
just say "please hold", put the caller on hold, and go back to sleep :D

i just say nothing now and let them be on as long as they want to be on; maybe i should add deep breathing voices or play some horror flick something like that....
 
I used to get one guy phoning at off times. He couldn't comprehend it was the wrong number. In the end I answered the phone and leave him to chat with himself - after a couple more calls he stopped. Guess listening to dead air became too expensive :)
 
...ok letting then talk to themselves option works best it seams; they stop very quickly if you just let them be on their own instead of not picking up or cutting them off.
 
Just switch off your phone between that time
that seems the most logical approach???

lol, yes sure; they will keep on trying- trust me just because the phone is off doesn't mean its the correct or wrong number for them. Unfortunately logical approaches doesn't work on the un-logical people.

yeah used to get that ALOT from 1 number too... used to just answer it and throw the phone under a pillow or something

just waste their air time :)
 
I remember the 1 time they kept phoning my dad so 1 time he picked up and they asked for their usual person so my dad said that person was dead... a lil harsh but the phone calls stopped ;)
 
I get one every two weeks or so. No point in explaining it's the wrong number. I just ask them how their week was and put the phone down so they can entertain themselves for the next 20 mins.
