I'm in New Zealand can I get blank calls from this number on my mobile often. Usually between 11am and 2pm. I ignore all +61 numbers now at this time, but it's meant I've had to miss a couple real callers by mistake.

They have called many many times. The few times I've tried answering to figure out who why and what the call is; but they always hang up right when I answer. It $#¡t's me so much cause it's happened every time I pick up. I'm at the point where I just don't answer private & interstate numbers anymore because of $h__ like this & repeatedly bugged no matter you say no. DOES NO REALLY MEAN YES CAUSE I LOVE THIS CRAP.
