... from my own (Android) phone. I heard it go off but didn't get there in time.
How can my phone ring itself ? Perplexed !
I occasionally get robocalls from numbers with only a few digits different from mine. Obviously scammers spoofing the caller ID.Have a closer look, it may look like your number but a common scam employs this "similar number" method of skullduggery.
The ‘the national crime agency has found your national insurance number in a fraud’ con is spoofing 07802 numbers. I’ve had several calls from confused old folk asking me why I’m calling them…..
Yes. The same for me a couple of times in recent years. I decided to talk to the last caller who said that I had called him and explained CLID presentation spoofing by scammers. He seemed to get it but I couldn't be sure.Ah thanks - that explains it. I had a call from someone last week saying I'd just called them. My phone had been next to me on the sofa, locked, for the previous hour or so.
OMG, don't do that! Blocking your own mobile number on your own phone is like entering the term 'Google' into Google. It's guaranteed to break the internet and any comms network your phone is connected to.Thanks.
I've just checked in the settings and both parameters were switched on; I've a long list of blocked numbers, mostly ones closely resembling my own. It's the first time I've had a call from myself, though . I've blocked my own number. I hope that won't upset other things or make the phone unusable. Time will tell.

Probably.
