I have recently had a cold call to my mobile trying to sell me a car imported direct from Japan . I cut the call short and blocked the number .
Today I received the same call but "unknown " to my phone .
Has anyone had the same ? is it likely to cost me a fortune to answer ?
I am reluctant to call MTN as previous experience with their service was "the blind leading the blind "

You can't be charged for answering a call ...

Thanks for the reassurance JB, I had in mind a recent scam I vaguely recalled about answering calls from strange numbers overseas .

I have never been happy with this style of marketing, it is harassment and should be punishable in a court of law. If it ever happens and you have a phone no. You should post it publically to help warn and protect others.

Thanks for that information.
We had such a call, we just disconnected.
+00813 is the code for Tokyo, Japan, numbers.

The IDD code for Greece is +30, followed by the area code.
The IDD code for Japan is +81, followed by the area code.
The area code for Tokyo is 3, so the IDD code for Tokyo is +813

In Cyprus the + means you actually dial "00"
So for Greece from Cyprus you actually dial 0030
And for Tokyo from Cyprus you actually dial 00813
