Hmm.. This is interesting, cause for North here most wrong numbers are never Hausa. Sometimes you hear either pigin English or Igbo, but mostly just a random tribal language. 2 Likes |

Your experiences are even small compared to what I have been facing for a long time now. Imagine a situation where a woman and her husband harassing me of being in possession of her daughter's phone for almost 2 years. The wife was calling everyday that I should give her daughter the phone that she wants to speak with her. The harassment was so much that one day the father and mother called that they want to speak to their daughter. I ask them about the whereabout of their daughter, they said she traveled 2 days ago. I told them to ask her next time if someone other than her has been in possession of her phone that I was getting tired of their constant harassment. That was how that case was solved. 1 Like |

New sim matter get as e be oo Few days after a friend of mine bought a new sim, he began to receive bank alerts (of the previous user). He tried recharging using ussd code & it was successful. Then I told him not to recharge again, to save the owner's money. Months later, we realized the money in the account is still the same, no debit or credit. Then, we assumed the owner of the bank account ( the sim's previous user) must have died. Na so my friend dey recharge dey go. He always had enough data until the account became empty. |

uncleck:Oga what are you waiting for ? Do away with that number cause the way things are right now in the country it is not safe using such a number my own advice |
Re: The Increasing Menace Of "Wrong Number" by ello29(m): 2:30pm On Nov 07, 2020 |
Yes, I have had similar experience too. I think this network providers in Nigeria should rise up to their challenges and stop all this call diversion. Changing user phone numbers should be addressed and proceed should be followed |

The height of it was when I went to Plateau. I will call a contact on my phone, only for someone else to pick. Sometimes people call me and started speak Hausa. But down south, it has only happened to me like 4 times. |

Still faced this thing yesterday though usually the Hausa callers. They'll just call and start blabbing in their language without confirming it's the right person. Tell them wrong number yet they'll keep calling up to 3 times, had to block a female one completely when she didn't stop calling for days 1 Like |

They still kept calling for 2 years I got used to it sometimes I will ok the call and allow their airtime to waste while sometimes I feel pity cos they are looking for someone especially the wife, until I lost that sim. 1 Like |

And everytime these aboki girls wrongly dial my number, they always seem to have enough airtime to keep calling even after I drop the call or pick without saying a word for minutes. Very annoying! 1 Like 1 Share |
