Few days back, I received a call from an unknown number; let me call him Mr. Z for the time being. He called several times till the time I picked up his call, and then he claimed that my phone number is same as your phone number.
Me: What..!! That’s not possible.
Z: Madam, but your number is same as my number at home (some family member’s no.)
M: It aint possible and please don’t call me again.
Bang.
But the calls kept on coming, but I was busy in something or the other that I couldn’t receive the calls and so I thought now it’s the end, Z wont call again, but some people are unpredictable..!
This time I received his call, thinking of giving him a solid scolding.
Z: Arre Madam, my son-in-law had also given a ring to my number at home and you got it.
(Background Story: I had received another call from an unknown number x-( Damn..!!)
Z: Your number is same as my number Madam.
Me: OK. Do one thing; give me a ring from that number which you say is same as mine.
Z: Ok madam.
Later in the evening…
Tring …tring…
Z: Madam, dekha na aapka hi number hai na .!! ( Did u see its your number only!)
Yet again, this was some other number and NOT mine and he was still claiming that this is mine.!! Whoaaaaaaa..!!
Me: No, it’s a different number, now please stop bothering me and if u still have issues with you not getting your calls on this number, post a complaint in Idea office.
Z: OK madam I will do that, but if you say this is not your number, then what is your number? I need to tell in the Idea office.
Me: Grrrrrrr…you are dialing my number, how come you don’t know it, and if you don’t , then I’m sorry I’m not giving it and if you cant complain, then I will.
Z: Ok if you want to complain, I dint say anything to you, but Ok you complain.
Then I just thought that the calls are being diverted to my number and I tried calling on that number (which was claimed to be same as mine) and it said call Diverted ! Bingo..!
Then I instantly called up Mr.Z and told him your calls are being diverted to my number please cancel it.
Z: Madam mujhe phone operate karna itna nahi aata hai.
Me: Hmph.! Ok, anyone else in your family knows?
Z: Yes, my daughter knows a little, please wait.
Daughter (D): Hallo. Kya karna hai?
Me: Go to Settings-> Call-> Call Divert->All Calls-> Cancel.
She was still not able to find the “Settings” in her phone and was took a long pause.
Me: Can u see the nut-bolt waala icon?
D: Hmm….(still trying to figure it out)
Me: Ok do one thing, get a pen and a paper and note down the steps.
And once again: Go to Settings-> Call-> Call Divert->All Calls-> Cancel.
And then I confirmed with her, u got it? Right?
D: Yeah yeah. Its “SAY-Ting” and “cancel”
Me: Ok, whatever, just get it done.
I still keep on getting calls from unknown numbers but I never receive and I don’t know who and how “MY” number was in their call divert list..!!
People get something better to do..!!
