My phone rings me

[Anonymous]

I have a samsung GT-S5830 on pay as you go for some unknown reason i keep getting a phone calls from my own number on my phone. The phone doe`s not ring but leaves me a missed call message, when I check details it is my own number with the prefix of +25-------- in front of my number. I have not changed any settings to course this and have installed an app MR number to block the calls but the app also tells me it is my number!!! I have run a virus scan and that proves all clear. Can anyone help its driving me nuts.

It sounds like an app giving you the problem or possibly the way you have voicemail set up?

Do you have Skype or GVoice installed?

Try dialling ##002# to cancel any diverts.

Thanks for your response jonsie I don't have voice mail, skyp or GVoice installed, have dialled ##002# to reset. The only new apps I have are compass, solitaire and AVG antivirus and have had these before the trouble started .

The country code for the UK is +44. There is no country code with +25, but there are three digit codes that start with +25 in eastern Africa. Have you checked if you are being charged for these calls?

Yes have checked that and appears that I`m not getting charged. Will wait till the morning to see if the phone has reset  after ##002# that's when I get the dodgy phone calls

cheers

Please keep us up to date, I think we're all a bit curious about this.

So far today since resetting ##002# yesterday, I have not had a call hope the reset has cured it, will let you know in a few days.

thanks all

Faitly certain it's just voicemail notifying you of a missed call.

Not sure what cured my phone ringing but its been 3 days now and not had a phone call from the +25-----  number. I think one of the fixes you guys suggested must have done the trick, all I can say is thanks to all of you for helping get this sorted out.

cheers guys

Glad you have it fixed, I'm sure it was voicemail.
