Disable international calls or something like that

[andreaamado]

I'm having problem with a lot of international calls, probably scam, at the beggining I was answering, but they turn off after I answer. Now I'm just ignoring, but it's really annoying.

PM can't be the problem..... I'm not getting any of these calls others are reporting.

Why would my  number not get these messages, if PM has sold off calling lists?

I have the odd misdialed number, the other day I had a MMS message that was sent to the wrong number, but these are mistakes by the sender.

Very annoying!

Change my number isn’t a option neither block the numbers because they uses  different numbers everytime.

PM is the problem, I didn’t have this when I was Freedom Mobile with the same number.

I am getting long distance calls too.  

New scam.  Reportedly they try to let it ring 1 or 2 times, enough for caller id & then hang up.  They hope you will call back as some are fee type calls (i.e. like 1-900) where there's a service charge & then per minutes charges.

@andreaamado your phone number is very popular!

You can register your number on the Canada National DNCL.  And on the USA National DNCL, to block out USA-based call agencies or their foreign-based clients.  Some people (like me) claim that it works wonders, others claim that it doesn't do much of anything useful.

Your calls are in exciting places like Estonia and Somalia and Maldives ... so they're probably spam calls trying to rip you off.  You can report the numbers or you can install a third-party spam-blocker app like RoboKiller.

Wow i thought it was only me...is PM selling our numbers now or their database was hacked? May be that is the reason they are trying to migrate us to Koodo. Me and my wife both are with PM and recieved these calls lately.

That 613 number left a voicemail pretending to be CRA officer and an arrest warrant will be issued if i don't contact them! Hilarious but sad

Just block each one and eventually you will only get 1/month. OR activate disable calls and then go into your contacts and edit to allow those you want to get through.
