Check if ur phone settings is in auto redial. If it is in auto redial, the phone will automatically redial any phone number that was unavailable |

Your keypad is bad. As for the strange short calls from abroad. Those are premium rate numbers. You go online, get the number, you then generate calls to that number by flashing people. When they call you back their lines are charged at a high rate eg 1-3 dollars per minute. The company then shares the money with you as agreed. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Wotoporiously speaking Your sim card is cloned, go get a new one and deactivate every account connected to the sim. If someone has cloned another person's SIM card, not only do they have the ability to receive their incoming texts and calls, but they can also send outgoing texts and calls using their number. This means they could impersonate them to gain access to important accounts, or even scam the victim's contacts. The problem is from the sim and not the phone. |

Two Questions; 1: Is the phone a second hand phone (or does anyone have your imei number) 2: Is the SIM card yours I.e registered under your name |

Your SIM is an akudaya SIM. Very rampant in MTN service provider. Throw that SIM away or buy a new one. You are not safe but wait, how much u get for account |

These days I got calls from strange numbers Recently there's this number that calls me with some strange kind of language that I do not understand even when I told the caller that it's wrong number, he'll not stop calling. I just observed a nag once When I woke up I saw about seven missed calls from this same number. Hmm these days things dey happen oo |

Endeared:your line has been hacked into. And it someone very close to you who did that. I use to do that to my elder brothers when I was in the university. I remember my brother complaining that mtn was taking his credit. |

Endeared: There is nothing to worry about..... Ur SIM has expired and u need to do a SIM swap or welcome back. Exact thing happened to me a month ago but mine was only sending SMS on its own to random numbers...infact some called me at that period sternly warning me to stop sending him SMS. I was banned severally on whatsapp and was also being achatted up by foreign numbers. My mtn network disappears and returns intermittently. When I had time two weeks ago, I went to mtn customer centre, and they told me I need to Change that SIM..... I did, and since then it has been working well. |

Endeared:. Your MTN sim has been clone, I experienced that untill I took my original CD starter pack to MTN head office in my state and went straight to the managers office. On seeing me with that old starter pack he knows am the original owner. To cut the story short someone else was using the sim, what helped me was that I've never done a welcome back before. So I gave them the history of the line, year I bought it locations I've gone with it's and all that. So after all the confirmation, they blocked the other person and I was issued a new 4G sim with 4G data and it was link to my NIN and all necessary registration. That was how my line became normal I hope this will help you |

Evergreen4:Have you ever open a message with the title "unknown sender" if yes, then your phone has been hacked and the hacker had gain access to your phone, he can do whatever he likes with your phone provided that your data is own or maybe your SIM has been cloned. And your best option of solving this ish 1. If the issue is SIM cloning, then you have to do sim swap aka welcome back or 2. If the issue is from your phone, then you have to hard reset or wipe the phone clean via the settings in your phone. |

Firstly find out if your line is not on roaming and if it is not on sim swap. Your line could have been swapped without you knowing. 2ndly if your phone location is on, and your device sharing setting is one, someone can use either your old and lost device to control your current device or another device to do that. Finally, your sim registration details can be used to do this. Check if your call forwarding has been activated, deactivate call forwarding and outgoing calls without your permission |

I am also in your shoe. There is this Chinese Android 7 version (360) I am using that never sleep in a day, it usually keeps dialing strange number and it has been wasting my airtime like kilode. Till now, I have not had his time to give it a thorough reset. But, I will advice you reset your phone to factory settings. Endeared: |
Re: Ghost Calling: My Phone Dials Itself by Nobody: 5:52pm On Aug 08, 2023 |
Check are there Yahoo boys within your vicinity Do you hear people around your gate at mid night say 1am discussing idly and quietly Sometimes they use the identity of your sim to commit crime and it's not just MTN but all Nigeria Sims . I don't know whose server they are manipulating or the lawyer they have been calling. You hear them talking about flash drive working and not working once in. a while. My advice is to set a pin on your sim and get a net blocker |
Re: Ghost Calling: My Phone Dials Itself by jackmrandy: 5:56pm On Aug 08, 2023 |

1st, uninstall all 3rd party apps. After then, reinstall the trusted ones 2nd, remove your sim from call divert/forward (##002#). use *# 62 to check whether your calls have been redirected or diverted without your consent. 3rd. insert security lock on your sim 4th, file a police report about the incident, before you will be charged for crime you know nothing about 1 Like |

Have you had of Wangiri call before? See little you need to do about it below. Wangiri is a Japanese word that means 'one ring and drop', and that's exactly how it works. Fraudsters using this scam will ring you from a premium or international number and leave a missed call, in hope that you'll call them back. If you do, the fraudster will try keep you on the line for as long as possible. What to do if you're on MTNN network. Kindly screenshot the call log showing the time of call and share with below number on WhatsApp. 0803 200 0175 |

Re: Ghost Calling: My Phone Dials Itself by Jesusmylord(m): 6:26pm On Aug 08, 2023 |
I had similar experience years ago. Someone was using that particular number before, maybe he/she lost the sim and waited for more than 3 months before retrieving it. During that period, mtn reproduced the same line, and I guess that is what you are using. You and someone are using the same line. When you recharge, the airtime displayed at both ends, anyone who is faster uses the airtime. That's why your balance is empty when you recharge without using it. The only solution is to go get another line, if not, you will be doing father Xmas for the person. |
Re: Ghost Calling: My Phone Dials Itself by bamitinn(m): 6:27pm On Aug 08, 2023 |
It also happens to me It's because you either use GBwhatsapp before that's why, so you will have to factory reset your phone to be able to use WhatsApp without getting ban again Endeared: |
