Erm... u dun recognise d number how u would know its an emergency? :dunno: :bsmilie:why would one called a number that doesnt even register with anyone? i wouldnt bother with numbers that i dont recognize even if it's an emergency.
:think: then diz forum full of noise.So, what are YOU doing abt it?
Activating call barring urself? Or are u juz sitting around making lotsa noise and not using the call barring features on ur phone or calling up ur telco to enquire if there's some kind of number blocking available?
And its getting from bad to worse. :bsmilie::think: then diz forum full of noise.
I've got quite a number of calls from +861xxx... too but each ring last only a few seconds. I did try calling back but its always a futile attempt. I'll use the 1511 service to call back (1511 service is free for 1st 8 secs into your call). I wont disable calls from China cause some calls might be genuine; such rings may last longer as the caller party is most likely to wait for you to pickup.
I think its only for making overseas calls. Check it out here.. http://www.zone1511.com.sg/PROD/SilverStream/Pages/index.htmlHow does this 1511 service work? Can they also work for local calls - sometimes I get unidentifiable local numbers calling.
