Earlier this month, several South Africans shared experiences with calls from +27100013810 that repeatedly pushed mobile phone contracts or airtime offers. Most describe a robocall or aggressive live sales pitch, often citing the brand "Smart Mobile" and noting that callers already know personal details like employment status. These patterns fit a classic telemarketing harassment scenario. To protect yourself, let the call go to voicemail, then block the number on your device. Register the number on the national Do Not Call list, and if the caller claims to be from a bank or utility, request written proof of identity. Report persistent offenders to the Communications Authority for possible enforcement.
