D'you think it might stop my own mobile number from calling my mobile, as happened once some years back. That was a weird experience, I can tell you!

That just made me experiment @pgn with 'phoning myself on a dual-SIM handset ! 🤣

Single SIM here @Oxonian - very strange, at that instant when the phone rang and I glanced at it and saw the incoming caller was... me!

I didn't answer - talking to myself would've taken it to a whole n'other level, I thought 😆

It will never stop @bhaskarsamani as it is a game of "cat and mouse" between the scammers and those ying to stop it. 👍
