Block the number immediately to stop further interruptions. These automated calls often try to sell ringtones through aggressive scripts that play music before prompting you to press buttons, which can lead to unwanted charges or data leakage. Keep your personal details private; never confirm account numbers, passwords, or payment info on a silent or music‑only line. Use your phone’s built‑in blocker or a reputable third‑party app, and register the number on the national Do‑Not‑Call registry. Report repeated harassment to your provider and, if needed, to the communications regulator to help curb such scams. Regularly review your call logs for unfamiliar patterns.

Appreciation to [...] for blocking it on my behalf.
I-oda le-ringtone libonakala limane lidle imali yami.
Annoying daily calls keep coming; they stay silent and then hang up, leaving me to wonder if they profit from harassment.
They ring me several times daily—over six calls, mainly during mornings.
Missing introduction at the start of the call.
Phone rang briefly before the caller ended the call
The line was filled with background noise and they swore at the Houtkoppé, omg. — oof
Constant harassment through repeated calls; I've been getting them often. Better not answer!
These con artists need to be locked up, no kidding. — whaaat
A fraudulent call—steer clear of it.
Ukusola kokukhwabanisa, ngiyithathe njengento engathandeki.
A call arrived from 082 117 8039, featuring a robotic voice after a short music intro. The automated message asked me to press 1 to set a music‑on‑hold tone for incoming callers. My number is brand new and known only to my bank and travel agent, so someone must have sold my details – very concerning. I’d be interested to know which network provider you use (if you also got this call); perhaps the provider is involved.
I didn't answer, then when I punched it back the line said the number was dead. — wtf
That turned out to be a wrong dial, lol. — aha
Repeatedly occurring.
The caller tries to scam you into buying ringtones; pressing the wrong button can easily purchase awful tones. Luckily I avoided the trap.
Background music playing during the call
An automated call attempting to market ringtone tracks.
A call came offering ringtones; I ignored it, it went to voicemail and left a sales pitch. I'm on the DRM list marked “do not call,” so this violates that.
