Missed calls from abroad? Trai regulates ISD in prepaid phones | Firstpost

It works in this way.

The chor telecom companies tie-up with someone and make 'em do this.

1. You get a missed call from a premium number
2. Most People do not check the number they received missed call from and end up calling back.
3. They keep you busy as long as they can.
4. You get charged about Rs. 20-Rs.30. Sometimes as high as Rs. 50 or Rs. 100

I get messages like this from a mobile number. Dont know whether it really comes from Facebook or some scam-mobile-number.

From:9232232665
Mogesh wants to connect on Facebook: *fb.me/<some alphanumeric>.
Reply "Stop" to stop getting facebook texts.

I guess if fb really sends me messages, it should be like TM-FACEBOOK or something like that!
Anyone experiencing this?

Btw, am not in facebook :p

^No, you're wrong.

Incoming calls, AFAIK, of any type are free. Aren't they?

Yes, they should provide some work around.

They can even clone your SIM.
Are you serious? :shock:
At least for now we won't pickup suspicious numbers. But suppose say some Indian also starts these activities, then his number will appear legitimate, then what to do?

Complain to your service provider. Certain times they do help.

Beware of missed calls that can clone your SIM


New Delhi: A new trend of cloning SIM cards by giving missed call is on the rise. Reportedly, missed call from numbers starting +92, #90 or #09 are dangerous and can clone your SIM when you call back the number.

According to reports, more than one lakh subscribers have fallen prey to this new telecom menace.

proof please.. being a electronics graduate.. I would like to know/investigate if it is even possible to clone a SIM over GSM network.

EDIT: SIM Card cloning using separate hardware is still possible. i'm talking about SIM card cloning when on call..

^nope sims cant be cloned
got a call from a 375 number, was fast enough to pick it up, it disconnected instantly
the scam is just calling back on the number and you lose balance, because it's a premium number

sim card cloning requires physical access to sim card.also just for future reference for technology/science news do not trust Indian media as most of them just sensationalize the issue to get more ratings(remember those mysterious black monkey rumors running 24*7 which even inspired the movie Delhi-6).

I agree with that.

Can we ask the Service Provider to block ISD calls to out cellphone ???

I think we can activate/deactivate ISD facilities only with our mobile number. Not others.
