Expert Opinion
Ever wonder why a single number keeps popping up in your missed‑call list? Most of the complaints point to a Cell C telemarketing operation that relies on automated tones, brief greetings and immediate hang‑ups to verify active numbers. The safest move is to let the call go to voicemail, then block the caller on your handset or through your carrier’s spam‑filter. Follow up by filing a complaint with the national communications regulator and, if possible, add the number to a Do‑Not‑Call registry. When you finally answer, ask for a written request to stop future calls and keep a record of the interaction. Taking these steps can curb the nuisance and protect your privacy.
