Why Is The Number Beginning With +256 Calling Me Always? by Nobody:
Who else has been experiencing this?

For the past many months, I have been receiving flashes from anonymous numbers beginning with +256.

The numbers are not Nigerian numbers as they don't begin with +234.

When I am able to pick the calls, the caller would just cut the call.

If I see the miss flash, and call back, they would say that the number does not exist or if it rings, the person would not pick.

Another thing is that if I call and it rings, my money would be over deducted, even when the person on the other side does not pick the call.

Yet my money would be deducted, like N100 for 5 seconds.

The deduction is always outrageous.

Please who else has experienced this?

What is your take on this?

Please who can put me through on why this is happening?

Just ignore the call or simply block it(the number).

When did you get your SIM? Perhaps it was used by someone they once knew. One of the dangers behind recycled SIMs.

I bought it new and I don't think someone else had used it before.

Moreover if it is someone they knew, they would not be flashing and then refused to pick the calls when they are called back.

What will Yahoo people gain by just flashing and then refusing to pick their calls for many months.

I think this thing has been happening for up to 5 years now.

Although it is not one number.

They are different numbers, mostly beginning with +256.

This isn't new. Just don't pick or call back. Those lines have been set up to bill you the receiver instead of the caller. It's a scam. The callers usually get some cashback at their end
