That is not the issue, people keep asking when did you come back? My Bros told me he spent better part of his time trying to convince them that he is not hiding from them. Funny enough same people will call me to try and find out if my bros was truly in Nigeria and don't want them to know so he won't drop something for boys.
I guess his intl num will ring if called by those trying to confirm

This guy is probably an 18 year old kid

Why would i want my phone number to show when i call Nigeria or some other countries ??

That's why i don't have a phone number or SIM card in my phone, i just download a textme app on my phone and get a free phone number

This is 2017 and not 1965, no one trips for foreign phone numbers anymore
leave the fool naaa, who still uses sim calling nowadays self abi is it not cheaper to call with whatsapp or even nextplus?

But then they charge you £1.50 per minute. These other virtual mobile operators use a different gateway to enable them offer cheaper tarrifs. It is not much of a big deal as long as your call is answered and the quality is good. The problem sometimes is the anoying messages like "your call credit is low".

Lol
So true

He's not saying crap. If you are outside the country and trying to call home you will understand what he's talking about. You spend the greater part of your time convincing already jubiliant friends or family that you are not in Nigeria because your number is showing as a Nigerian number on their side.

Na only you dey outside country?

Or perhaps he hates having to explain he's not back in the country every single time he calls..stop thinking with your lungs

I first noticed it early dis year wen my sis inlaw called from Cairo nd I wz like she's back already bt she said no didn't believe her then until some friends started calling me recently frm UK nd anoda frm US and they were all showing Nigerian number, then I believed it's error frm d network.

Ignorance is bad ooo. That's how I was wondering why its a local number that showed up when I received an international call, thought it was network error.

Learnt something today.

It is because you are using cheap calling cards or sim cards that route their calls through internet or Nigeria proxy numbers, and besides what is the issue here? quality clear calls or some random Nigerian numbers?

This is true oo.. I get calls from America only to see Nigerian numbers. I thought these people were playing with me, I had to verify if they were really in the USA. This is total nonsense, it could make people lose trust or look like scammers.

You know that people that use voip to call has to set it up with their number at least those that had it for at least 3 years did and that number is supposed to show when you call?

Instead of calling someone mumu why not consider all the possible scenarios?

Just received a call from the UK right now and I didn't face this issue. I also called back and spoke for 2:12 minutes and I was charged 72 naira which seems fair.

Not a bad idea. Just as I had like if and whenever I by chance go that abroad.

Nothing as sweet as that.. Except Sex with a cute Nympho.

Even when bros is in Naija his intl number is still open. If you call it it rings but it waits for it to enter voice mails if it is important he calls back or he just wait whenever he gets back he returns the call. He doesn't switch off when he is in Naija.

Sometimes it happens with Lycamobile but I think it depends on the country you're calling from.

Some persons don't really understand what this post is talking about.

When ever I call a Nigerian number, it displays 080** or 070** instead of +1.

The major problem hear is can't call the said number back.

I had a phone interview with a recruiter from Dubai, the number appearing on my phone was a glo network, I thought she was in Nigeria. After the interview, my interviewer said I could call back. I tried calling after some days, I couldn't reach the person. That's how I lost contact.

Bad policies everywhere embarassed cry cry
Really? This is so sad

lafuria1:
so the only issue here is your number changes to a local number here right?
my question is, what happens when someone in nigeria is making international calls?

this isnt a big deal tho

the big problem i see is when family keep seeing different numbers every time you call from abroad, is this an issue ?
When they call from Nigeria, it displays a Canadian number and when I try to call back, It doesn't go through until I change the +1 to +234

You're the kid here.

The problem is that you wouldn't be able to call back.

A guy calls me often from Germany, and each time he calls, I see different GLO numbers. If he calls with his German number 50 times in 1 day, I would see 50 different GLO numbers on my phone. I've tried so many times to call back, without a luck.

I think the issue needs to be addressed. Its not about 'tripping' over foreign lines. Some people do serious business online, and they get leads from different countries.. It becomes a disaster when you're unable to reach your clients.
