African numbers ringing me and charging 2.50

Harrypm82 · ‎26-05-2020

Hi so last week I had a number calling me from Sierra Leone 5 times and I blocked it. I went on a walk and accidentally pocket dialled the number. It only rang twice with no answer(I had my earphones in). I got a message saying that I reached half my spending limit(£5) but today I woke up to 5 missed calls from Yemen, Zimbabwe, etc. How do I stop this bull?

The only way is to keep blocking numbers.

Put a PIN on your lockscreen to prevent pocket dials.

There are supposedly apps that will block all international numbers, but I've not tried any myself to recommend.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
