    Your ma is calling you in for your dinner?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Too many digits.

    Dublin numbers have seven digits after the 01- prefix, not eight.

    Ya I know but just checked my phone again and thats definitely the number!!

    I had me dinner already!!:D but thanks for the suggestion...

    Would you not turn off your phone??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17 Hatchet


    It seems to be an Irish number....i.e. no country codes appear at all. It is displayed on the phone as follows; 0179303449.

    I kept getting missed UK number calls on my home phone when I was at work. Like the OP, they never left messages either, and it was relly bugging me. I was off one day when the same number called and it turned out it was Sky trying to sign me up. The woman on the phone was very put out when I told her I didn't want it and would prefer if they stopped calling me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17 Hatchet


    :mad: Ya Zaph, I think you could be right.... probably some company doing cold-calling and the like. Why else would'nt they leave a message?? Lunatics

    What happens when you don't miss the call then?

    Why didn't you answer it?

    Hmmm i recognise that *looks at business card in wallet*

    Wait a second......why is Miss Behavin' calling you? I thought she didn't do call outs?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 884 ✭✭✭NutJob


    I got prank + txt calls a month back

    Someone ket ringing and txting me.

    Rang once on private number...

    Them: "Do you want to know what im doing?"
    Me-: "No its 4am im asleep and iv work in 4 hours!"

    It got worse so i left my phone on silent for a day.

    It continued until i had the number blocked.:mad:

    I like my sleep!!!:D

    Ring her back at 5:30 AM and ask her how she likes it :D

    Mind you, that'd mean you'd have to get up early too.

    Ok...I see the flaw in my cunning plan.

    Divert your calls to a premium rate phone sex line, or your local garda station. Works a treat for prank callers...

    Did you watch The Ring seven days ago?
    Don't answer the phone!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 929 ✭✭✭sternn


    Iv never seen a number like that before.

    I did get a missed call off a number like 07531535 something like that, and it ended up being from dingle (the eircom phone book told me:D )

    The owner of the phone pays for the divert. A good sounding idea but it will cost you, not them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,960 ✭✭✭DarkJager


    Yeah but it costs so much less than the hassle of having to change your number....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,485 ✭✭✭Thrill


    I once had the same mobile number as someone else and kept getting calls meant for him.

    I refused to change my number when asked and the calls kept coming for about another week and then stopped.

    That probably doesn't help the OP in the slightest. Ah well.

    maybe he should go to see a doctor? :D

    jokin' aside, its probably a call from somebody in a call center, either that or its yourself from the future. i'd go with the future one tbh :)

    save the cheerleader, save the world! ;)
