anonymous ISD calls (and the mobile model I use)

Friends,
This morning I got a call from the number +994500073243. It got cancelled the moment I pressed the answer button. I checked the number and even after it looked like an ISD number, I thought I would give it a try (how foolish of mine!) and called back. There was no ring. The call got connected in no time and I heard a recorded voice which was not very clear and sounded extra-terrestrial:shock: to me. I just cut the call in 8 seconds but, lo! Rs.20/- deducted from my balance. When I googled the first 3 digits, I found out that +994 belonged to the country Azerbaijan. I wonder what business they had calling my number!:roll:
Has anyone else faced similar problems? I post this as a warning to our DD friends not to call back such anonymous ISD numbers and lose money/get into trouble.

Yep its going around, even I experienced this but I never lift or call back any numbers apart from India and USA (as the mobile shows the name of the calling country)

Thanks for the piece of information. I’m going to buy an android mobile immediately and install that one.
BTW, can anyone guess the mobile I AM using right now? The one who guesses it right will be given karma.

No buddy. Don’t take it seriously. I’m not going to change the title. Let’s discuss both these issues:shock: together.

Again wrong.
But if you are given n number of chances you will definitely guess it right by listing the models from day one. So I’ve to limit the number of chances to any single dimer. What about three?

I din’t install any app’s by default the country name is displayed when I get calls. Am I missing something
Google Nexus. Is it possible to have such an option in an android mobile which costs below 10000/- because I cannot afford more than that?

Guess you can do with some third party applications
Voting Down a post such as this! My goodness, I’ve not even supported Bala Saheb anywhere in this post!:roll:
Edit: Where does self promotion come in here? Somebody enlighten me. I thought this place was meant for friendly discussions about anything and everything.
