Like a ghost knocking on a door, these silent calls linger without a voice, leaving recipients uneasy. From a data‑protection view, the lack of identification makes it hard to verify the caller’s legitimacy, so treating the call as suspicious is safest. Never share personal or financial details with an unknown number, and avoid calling back – the number often doesn’t exist. Report the nuisance to your mobile provider and, if in South Africa, to ICASA or the National Consumer Commission. Use built‑in call‑blocking features or third‑party apps to block the number, and keep a log of call times for any future investigations. Staying vigilant protects both privacy and peace of mind.
Phones daily and lingers briefly on the call before hanging up
Disconnects right after I pick up
Daily 4-5 calls hitting my 91-year-old grandma's basic phone, which can't block numbers :-(
Rings daily, but silence when I pick up, and callback says number's invalid.
Calls from this number make my two phones chime at once?? I pick up one that's dead quiet while the second keeps buzzing
Rings daily but no one speaks
No response on the line
Spotted online: "Dodgy collectors for TV licenses. They use automated silent calls to cut costs. Answering logs the contact, letting them claim they notified you about debts and upcoming charges. Numbers: 011 084 4002 and 011 084 4972."
Every morning this number rings, we answer and they disconnect. Calling it back verifies the line doesn't exist. It's been bothering us for over a month now.
Not bad at all.
What is this contact? Calling back yields nothing - it doesn't connect.
No point in answering. Daily calls from this number with silence on the line

Scam trying to fish for info, total nuisance

Kuyacasula kakhulu futhi iTelkom ithi abakwazi ukuvimbela izicelo ezingenayo. Angikholwa ukuthi akukwazi ukulandelelwa.
Daily calls from them! Pick up and there's nothing, then it cuts off. No clue about their identity or purpose! Calling back says the number's invalid. Quit bothering me!
Rings daily, even multiple times some days, but silence on the line, and it's unreachable when returning the call
Rings daily without any response
Came across this online: "Debt collector for TV licences that's not reliable; they use automated calls without anyone talking to cut phone costs. After picking up, the system logs the contact as proof they notified you about the debt and upcoming charges. Their lines are 011 084 4002 and 011 084 4972."
