Default ATT cell phone????

Weird assed incoming phone id's......

such as 97418 or any other combo of 5 digits.....no good to dial them in response .....AND I get a ton of them.....at least 30% of incoming calls....???

then I get one with a normal long distance number 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx etc.....fine...no great mystery

BUT then I get this off the planet #.....52 729 921 xxxx WTF???


I suppose the 52 there stands for a Nation??? I can't think of any reason someone in another nation would call ME????

anyone smart??

A 5 digit number usually corresponds with a text message, not a phone call. A phone call from a number that starts with "52" might be a call from someone on What's App.

And that shit has nothing to do with AT&T.

BTW, I've been getting more spam calls recently.

Don’t answer, and NEVER try to call them back. Why would anyone do that?

I was getting someone constanly calling from various phone #'s selling something medical related, in Chinese.

Robokiller app solved 99% of the unwanted bs.

I'm still getting the occasional spam text. But those are easy to block/delete when needed.

Yeah I've been getting lost of spam emails. It's simply that time of year that scammers want your money instead of spending it on family members.

Unless I am expecting a call from some entity, or the number that comes up matches one in my contacts, they can leave a message or remain a mystery.
