This past year I feel very disturbed at all by telephone and short message coming into my cell phone. No matter morning, noon, evening and holidays even if they continue with the action.
From various backgrounds, some were offering credit card manufactured, there is also offering loans, insurance and others.
I do not know how they all could get my phone number, and I feel very disturbed by all this.
What about you ? You may also have experienced it and how do you deal with it so noise, and for not recur ?
Thank your for your sharing and your information.

Hi. aisoice. Welcome to myLot!
So far I have not received any calls like this lately. But I have received maybe one phone call that I did not know anything about. So, I just don't answer my cell phone anymore when I don't recognize the number at all. I also try to place my number on The Do Not Call Registry List too. I hope that by doing this, I won't receive any annoying phone calls anymore. I don't know how they get my phone number, maybe through some data base records, I am assuming. It is is annoying, because when you don't want to be bothered with them, they will still call you and become so aggravating.

hi cream97,
Thank you for your response.
Yes right, for me this is very disturbing.
Sometimes I wish not to receive calls from numbers I do not know, but I'm afraid if it was from friends or family who have or replace the new number.
But I'll try it that way, I will not receive calls if the numbers I do not know.
Thanks for your input.

There are lots of callers like that in our phone too but I don't answer them when I don't know who the callers are. It would show in the caller's ID. If something I don;t know who? I will wait for the message they left then answer if I know it is very necessary to answer. But when they are telemarketers? I don't mind them. Sure it is disturbing and some people said you can complain about it and bloc these callers.

hi Bebs08,
Thank you for your response and your suggestion.
I could have blocked their number, but until when? Because there will be a lot number to contact. Today we block a number, maybe tomorrow will come again that number even more, because our data have been disseminated. I do not know what to do anymore, what I have to change phone numbers? I do not think so, too.

These days one cannot avoid having sms messages that are not only disturbing but takes a toll on your phone credit. However, the problems usually start when you make the first response - whether consciously or unconsciously. Let me share you one of my experiences.
There was once when I still didn't know the tricks that people use to make money via the cell phone. One guy offered to put the latest hit song as a ringing tone to my cellphone. Since I thought it was a free offer, so I accepted it - by dialing the response number 2338 .. something. To my surprise, I got a "congratulations" reply from it but it also states that RM3.00 was deducted from my account. And the worst thing is that the deduction goes on every week.
I managed to stop it though when I went to the Celcom Centre and asked all these nonsense to be deleted. BUT THIS WORKS ONLY WHEN YOU'RE REGISTERED WITH THE PHONE COMPANY THAT YOU SUBSCRIBE TO. Perhaps you can do the same by asking them to unsubscribe all unnecessary offers. If, however, you still find these "parasites" bothering you, you can always delete the messages and leave it at that.
Today, I still receive sms'es but I simply delete it and my account doesn't get affected. Every month I can conserve my bill by spending less than RM30.00 or RM 1.00 a day. I hope this helps you.

hi Judewang,
Thank you for your response.
The problem I faced was different from what you are facing, I had absolutely no charge, but very disturbing at all.
And this incident in no way can we report it to our cellular provider.
They're all from different backgrounds, between one bank with another bank.
What I wonder, how do they all get my data, so they can easy call or send a short message.
