Ever wondered why your phone rings nonstop from +27117786300? The pattern points to a CANSA outreach operation that mixes telemarketing with market‑research surveys. Callers typically ask about mobile‑service satisfaction, cell‑signal quality, or general consumer feedback, rarely demanding sensitive personal data. If you receive such a call, let the conversation end politely, note the time and content, then block the number if the calls become intrusive. Register the number with your carrier’s spam‑filtering service and report persistent harassment to the relevant consumer‑protection agency. Staying vigilant and using call‑blocking tools will keep unwanted solicitations at bay.

Likely they ring folks to gather info and flog it to businesses. Posed a couple questions to me, then bombarded with tons about Cell C. I had fun ranting on how crappy Cell C's coverage is.
