Honest 836 Report post Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) ^^^ @Vishal My dear friend first of all please tell us, which connection your father is using. If he is using Reliance, than surely there is a 100% chance that this problem (the no. doesn't exists) is due to the Reliance's network, as we all know that even if the called party's phone is busy sometimes we hear that "this no. does not exist" or "please check the number you have dialed" or "to resume service please call reliance customer care" etc. etc. So in my point of view there is no need to worry at all my dear friend. We all experience some of these types of problems every day. I too get many calls like this even from places which are too far from my home. I think, the only problem with you is you are giving more attention to this particular thing. Divert your mind and be happy. So tell your father not to worry at all. And you also don't worry. In the end let me tell you two things here my dear friend : 1. Some numbers are dedicated for only outgoing calls only and even if someone try to call that particular number than surely he / she will get the busy tone or number doesnot exist message. 2. If someone is using a fake telephone exchange to make outgoing calls than also there is a strong reason to get this message of "Number doesn't exists". But this happens mostly in MTNL and BSNL exchanges. Regards. Edited July 28, 2007 by Honest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vishal Gupta 4 Report post Posted July 28, 2007 I'm not worried buddy but I found it strange so I asked. Reg. to other things: 1. My father is using BSNL Pre-paid connection. 2. I also tried dialing the no. from his mobile as well as 2 other phones, 1 Tata and 1 Reliance. 3. Tata and Reliance says no. doesnt exist and If I try dialing from BSNL, I heard a few beeps and the call truncates. At last I came to this conclusion that some one is calling using Voip and thats why I'm not able to call that incoming no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honest 836 Report post Posted July 28, 2007 ^^^ So Mr. Vista in the last you have concluded the matter. You may be right that someone is trying to call using VOIP, that's why you can't call him back. I agree with you my dear friend. Enjoy ! Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Vishal, This does look like it is an Airtel number. And "The no. doesnt exist" usually will come for a number reserved for an outgoing only connection viz what telemarketers use. As it appears to me, it is a telemarketing call. As regards to it being a blank call, it could be a hundred reasons...connection issues, network problems etc....So relax and let it be and ask your father to do the same too. P.

Vishal Gupta 4 Report post Posted July 29, 2007 It means I'm not alone in this world. I think we should call India TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greens 21 Report post Posted July 29, 2007 It's a Bangalore Airtel Wirelline number. If you can catch hold of some one in airtel broadband customer care, the mystery will be solved. Most probably that might be a marketing telecall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 @Mr. Vista, Now I also have started receiving blank calls from '09372838249'. No sound at all and then the call disconnects. When I called back, the announcement says,' please check the number you have dialled' I got calls from this number on my 2 FWPs and also on my RIM. So, really we all must call India TV or AajTak or NDTV or some high profile TV News channels and get some free publicity for us in the bargain also. And yes, since the news channels telecast the same news umpteen number of times, just imagine the free publicity. Ha HA hA ha HA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I_C_U 10 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 Yes its a great chance of these news(!) channels to satisfy their obsession with ghosts and tantra-mantra. Just call one and they will flock by dozens at your place. Then for next couple of days we may see something like "Khouf ki pukar" or "Bhoot ki ring " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CUPIDON 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 Me too getting blank calls, these calls generally come around midnight, the number does not seem to exsist when u call back, seems like old Dhirubai, just ensuring Reliance network is doing fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honest 836 Report post Posted August 3, 2007 ^^^ Ofcourse my dear friends I too agree with all of you lets make a "BREAKING NEWS" out of this matter. And obviously India TV will show this with a lot of BREAKS. "Break ke baad aapko batayengey ek aise phone ka raaz jisey dekhkar aapke rongte khade ho jaengey" "Break ke baad hum aapko batayengey ki akhir kya hai raaz is unwanted mobile caller ka" "Break ke baad aapko batayenge ki kaise India TV ne khoj nikala is mobile caller ka pata" "Bus hazir hoten hain thodi hi der mein is break ke baad" "Aap jaiyega nahin" Enjoy !
