Phone network error Mike...Calls when rings 1 or 2 times and quits or comes up all same single digit number are often signs of local phone company errors....

Look at this way if someone is monitoring you, 999,999 out of a 1,000,000 you will never know it...

Hate to contradict TH, but it's phone spoofing, not errors.

Do a bit of research on "SWATing" and you'll learn about it.

Some others use the sites as well, most of them I've gotten were calling about my company's "Google Listing" which is curious as we don't have a web site.

most likely robo caller where they Spoof the number Scammers

0000000 - who calls me from 0000000? 1/11

there is , or at least was, a site where you could dial someone & they will see 666 calling them https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100616214628AATwyoT or any number you want them to believe is calling.

I've been seeing + 2-532-209-3206, 207-666-9543 & several others.
it has gotten to the point
I don't answer If I don't know who's calling & wait for a Message Or Google the number


I, as well as most who report these calls online,
are on Do Not call Lists But these people are not going to give you
traceable info , they just want your identity .

I think my phone may actually have a Virus from the day of Purchase.
If i start making & answering Calls to friends.

the Spam calls start back of at brekneck speed.

if I don't answer my phone for a few weeks, they calm back down
till I answer or make a call again.

I think the Phone companies sell these phones at cheaper prices by adding the Virus

Notice I said "often signs," [emoji12] you
will also get network errors the same way.. I work for phone companies for over 40 years 2\3 in that in the switching office.

Nope

My phone is a Phone



no apps. I even have Text messages disabled by ATT

but somehow these Robo Callers seem to know when
I'm using it. Could be Coincidence, but I have my Doubts

Jeff... Come on...

 

[BC1969]

Actually it was none of the above..it was *big brother* that's all I'm saying. guess I got the 1 out of one million.

 

[jeff of pa]

Jeff... Come on...

You don't think these Manufacturers in China or Japan or where ever these phones are made,
have the ability to add a chip before they supply these phones for Pennies
each to ATT etc. ?

Just saying it sure seems they have.

No not a Political Statement. I love China & japan !
especially their ability to supply goods at prices I can almost afford.
if not for all the middle men.
& can even forgive them if they do put a virus in them.

Giving At&T a lot of leeway as they are the ones who can make money from selling the numbers.

Probably have chips from both China & AT&T.

Well, if they ever do happen to look at me and mine, they're not gonna spend too much time unless they think I'm smart enough to look so innocent that I must be hiding something. lol I really can't think of a thing that I do, say, or have that would cause them to get interested in me.
At my age, and my temperament, it might be a lot of fun if they did come around asking questions! Might be kinda like the people who tried to scam me out of $1500 a year or so ago. I kept up a running conversation with them (on email) until about two weeks into it, they just suddenly stopped. After several days, I sent a message that it had been a lot of fun for me to 'pull their chain' for so long. lol
