    Hi Masala,

    If you have the numbers you can block them directly on your mobile phone, for landlines you would need to call 1901 where they can block the number for you. If the calls persist you can always contact Com Reg for more information on same.

    Hi Kellie.... they keep changing!!!  Its 66xxxxxx , net one could be 63xxxxxx, then 66wxwxzy.   They keep coming as random numbers.     I have an answerphone attached and I reckon they hear get a signal that my number is a valid number as the answerphone kicks in.     They obviously are able to disconnect when they get the answerphone ....as they never register as a missed call on the set.   I just see them on the handset when I get home
