When my mum calls me from her Czech landline she gets connected to a stranger. She uses my number saved in her phone 9 years ago same way as she did before. There are no changes on her side. I have no blocked numbers or redirections of calls set up. I contacted O2, who confirmed it. My brother tried to call me from his mobile with same result. I can call them, no problem. They can't call me. I have no problems with UK numbers.

 

The woman they end up being put through is getting upset by getting these weird calls. Unfortunately they don't have enough English to explain the situation and find out who she is. I migrated my number from Vodafone to O2 in May but the problems didn't start till October. Could it be connected?
