Ever wondered why a silent, persistent call keeps popping up from the same number? The pattern points to a classic robocall campaign pushing insurance or funeral cover, often labeled under the Blue Approved brand. These calls typically use auto‑dialers, play nothing or a brief recorded pitch, and rely on sheer volume to catch a live ear. The safest play is to let the call go to voicemail, then block the number in your device and report it to the national communications regulator. Enable carrier‑level spam filters, keep your contact list private, and avoid returning calls to unknown callers. Regularly review blocked‑number lists and consider a reputable call‑screening app for an extra layer of protection.
Unwanted callers make unsolicited sales calls that harass, which should be prohibited in South Africa.

Unwanted incoming call
Silence lasted 18 seconds
Ucingo olungenalutho luye lwavusa ukukhathazeka, aluthinti lutho.
Abantu bakule ndawo abayeki ukuzama shame. Bashaya nsuku zonke njengokungathi ngibakweleta. Ngiyabonga i-true caller yami ibavimbe
Ayikaze iphendule ngisho nalapho ngiyiphendula, ngakho le nombolo ingaziwa.
Got a call, greeted them with 'welcome to Avbob, how can I help?' and never heard back
Bothersome salesperson pushing pointless insurance (I'm jobless right now!) and occasionally an auto-dial for MTN service, it must be stopped????
An automated bot calls every day trying to sell an old Mutual Life insurance policy.
I-robocall
The line drops right when you pick up
I receive a bothersome call each day, haha.
I respectfully request that you refrain from contacting me, as I am not interested in your products or services
Abathengisi be-Blue Approved bahlala bengikhombisa imikhiqizo emisha. Kuhle, kodwa ngiyaphikisana nokuphindaphinda kwabo.
First, open the Phone app. Then tap the three‑dot icon at the top‑right of the dialer search bar. Next, go to Settings and select Blocked numbers. Finally, enable the Unknown option.
During the call, the line was silent, and the person on the other end didn't say anything
Insurance nonsense
Cover for funerals
Ukukhangisa okukhulu kakhulu kuyangicindezela, ngiphinde ngithole izingcingo eziningi. Ngabe kungenzeka kususwe le nombolo?
True Caller has been instrumental in identifying and blocking spam calls, which are clearly marked in red.
I-Old Mutual ucingo oluzenzakalelayo ngenxa yeneshoransi. Kuyacasula ukuthi basebenzisa izinombolo zamaselula manje, eish!
Banquma kakhulu kodwa ngenhlanhla i-True Caller iyibhatsman wami futhi imatado ngibingelela I-Art Of Healing Spa, Thai Traditional massage, Swedish massage, Aromatherapy massage kanye ne-Ashiatsu deep tissue manipulation.
Umthengisi we-telemarketing ubiza njalo, ngicabanga ukuthi kufanele ngiyibeke esigabeni esiphansi.
I’ve been hit with a bunch of spam calls, and there’s never a voice when I pick up, haha.
No interest here
Received two calls that felt like harassment.
Automated robocall from Blue Approved, pushing junk
Bayaphazamiseka shame, ngibavimbele futhi baphinde bashaye, ngiyazibuza ukuthi benza kanjani
