We are receiving a lot of calls on the mobile from Germany and Denmark from unknown numbers, always in the morning and always different numbers. Has anybody else had this problem?

We have been doing the same but have kept a written list of the numbers. Good to know we are not on our own!
Thanks for your reply.

What if it´s a genuine caller (such as myself) who is using their German SIM-card because it´s a lot cheaper than what´s offered in Cyprus?

Don't know anyone who would phone me from a foreign number other than those who's numbers I know

I receive these phone calls almost every day in the last 10 days. Surprisingly, they don't want to speak German with me.

Why don't you answer the call, and ask the caller?

Not at all. He speaks pretty decent German and is using Linux rather than Microsoft.

Exactly, I´d be pretty annoyed if someone would deliberately not be taking my call without me knowing why. So far this has happened only once to me and I had to phone repeatedly until he finally answered.

It seems that my humor, has been lost in translation
