Anyone else getting prank calls from a Tunisian landline number in the last few weeks? Anyway to stop it as its getting annoying at this stage

Haven't got any. If it's from the same number each time then it should be easy to block. What phone have you got? You can usually block numbers in the phone app.

Happened to my father yesterday. Fortunately he didn't ring back

if its scams calls if u block that number they just ring on another number last year i had six to eight numbers a day ringing from buying shares in one thing or another it went on for weeks in the end i had to change my number most of the numbers look irish numbers but are mostly coming from africa

It started happening with the father and now I'm getting them as well. Its the same number calling. Shows the number and then Tunisia beside it. Rings for a few seconds every hour and then hangs up. I wasn't aware of been able to block it with the phone app but I'll certainly check that now. Cheers

I got 2 yesterday, just rang for a second and hung up. They usually get bored after a bit and feck off.

As above, its a scam not a prank. Sometimes they play a woman screeming etc, its to induce you to call back.

Got a call from a strange number on my mobile last week and just blocked it and nothing since.

Used to get calls from India all the time looking to "fix the virus on my computer".
Started to take the mick out of them by answering the call and stringing them along for as long as I could.
Used to tell them I needed to turn on the computer and put the phone in a drawer and left it there but when I returned to it around 30 minutes later, they were never there for some reason! .
1 guy rang, did above but he kept ringing back so I went along with it for the crack.
He told me to "turn my computer on", I asked him what temperature did he want it turned up to, he said, NO A COMPUTER, this went on for a while!
When I got bored, I said to him, "OH Computer, I thought you said cooker, I don't have a computer!"
"&^*(*&^!!!!!", he then told me I was a bad man and hung up!
Never heard from him again.

2 Calls to my mobile today from Tunisia. Didn't answer and they hang up after a few mins

00 216 98 094 133
00 216 93 205 243

I known how to Block and report as spam, but what is the point if they use different numbers.

There needs to be an option to block an entire country code, I'd block all of Africa.

Open your "phone" app, click on the three dots in the top right corner, you'll see "settings". Click on that, and you'll seean option to "block numbers". Click on that, and you'll see the option to block unknown numbers, and/or block specific numbers...
