usually at ridiculous hours of the morning, from a +233 number. WTF? I don't pick up, obv, and there is nothing in the voicemails either. Anyone else get unwanted calls from far away places?

yes, mostly from south america, but ive had them from russia and ukraine and oddly enough barbados, all selling british products working for british firms, its completely illegal as im in the telephone and mobile preference service, im with BT in the uk for my phone and they say they cant block the calls as if they block international then they have to block mobile calls, great software BT

It used to be the other way around.

When I worked for a telecoms firm, phoning african countries on my mobile was normal so when I got one of those 419 scam emails through I put the number in my phone and used to call it at silly times of the day and night. Mostly when I was pissed. Very amusing.

eureka! in a surprising flash of lucidity, I programmed the fucker into my phone as Prince Mmmfoofoo, and assigned him no ringtone! this means silence when he spams me in future! awesome!

cant you just block that number at the phone side, i had a samsung that let me do that once, and you could block texts as well

Just answer it, and breath deeply at them until they hang up.

no, because that will cost me money: the call from Ghana to NL is for them, from NL border to my phone is for me :/

It costs you money to answer the phone? What madness is this?

International calls cost you and the recipient money. Sometimes texts do as well.

Mobile companies are getting a little better tho

just answer it and leave it answered.
they will stop after it costs them a fortune to hear silence at your end. i usually do this with sales calls if they manage to seep in.

This used to the case years ago, but I have not had a contract that charges me for receiving them for at least a decade -unless I myself was a broad.

it will cost you more money then that i'm sure.

pretty certain you actually pay for all of it and they earn money from it.

that shit isnt only working when you call them :)
