Wondering if anyone has come across this at all (I have already submitted a contact form to 2D).

 

People have been unable to call me for several days - it goes straight to a busy tone.

 

I am able to call and text out OK. I am also able to receive incoming text messages fine.

 

Have restarted my phone several times as well as tried a different mobile altogether. Same issue. Signal bar is strong. Mobile data works fine.

 

Logged into my portal in case it was a billing issue (not that I've had any notice about that), and found I had spent money on international texts to some random as number I don't recognize (unsure what country), literally from 30 minutes ago?! I definitely did not send texts internationally as I rarely use my phone let alone for anything international.

 

Any idea what I can try next other than waiting for 2D?

iPhones send SMS to a UK number for Apple ID verification. Most providers seem to zero rate these.

Thanks, I checked. No diversions set up. Also it's an Android and haven't verified for anything recently.

Opened any malware on it recently? They seem to block incoming calls so people don't call back about the spam SMSs that are being sent out from the phone.
