Ever wonder why your phone keeps lighting up with a silent call that offers nothing but a recorded message? Most reports point to a silent call from a call centre pushing insurance or funeral cover, often using an automated voice that hangs up after a brief pause. These calls are typically unsolicited and can be blocked by registering the number with the national do‑not‑call list or using your carrier’s call‑filtering tools. If you answer, avoid pressing any keys and hang up immediately. Keep a log of the timestamps, then report the number to the consumer protection agency for further investigation.
