Check unknown Philippine numbers with recent reports (Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao) and share your experience.
Unsure about a Philippine number? Explore concise community notes to judge calls and texts. Around Metro Manila (02), Cebu (032) and Davao (082) you’ll see both legitimate callbacks (deliveries, banking, appointments) and waves of robocalls or phishing. Mobile 09xx ranges and 1800 toll‑free patterns provide context but are not proof of origin due to portability and VoIP.
Verification: return calls via the official number on the company website/app, check in‑app notices, and never share one‑time codes. Use device/carrier blocking for repeats and leave a short, factual note here to help others.
Their payment reminders can be overwhelming, with up to 10 calls daily until they apparently exhaust their efforts or experience a system update
Di ko nasagot, pero may mga ina-applayan akong trabaho, pero dapat nagsend sila ng text
A credit card offer was presented
Parang palpak ang tawag, wala itong laman.
Walang boses, pero napansin ko na tinatawagan ako ng paulit. Hindi maganda.

With the sequence of calls from 0948 110 01 17, 0948 110 01 18, and 0948 110 01 19, it seem like a suspicious pattern, so I never answer unregistered calls
Ilang beses na sila tumawag ngunit bigla na lang nag-hang up. Nakakainis dahil hindi sila tumitigil sa pagtawag sa loob ng dalawang oras. Walang ideya kung sino sila dahil hindi ko sinagot ang tawag ngunit nirereport ko ito sa PLDT para imbestigahan ayon sa customer care ng PLDT

A call was received offering an extension of my cell phone plan.

VXI Philippines is reportedly associated with this number.
Following my Citibank credit card application in Febuary, I got a declination message on 04Mar2019, yet I recieved calls from this number, which is suspisous since no one responded when I ansered, and Citibank PH confirmed it's not their number, very frustating
Upon receiving the call to verify my credit card application, I became skeptical when the caller claimed to be from Citibank, and my doubts were confirmed when they abruptly ended the call after I expressed my intention to verify the authenticity of the call with Citibank, stating that my application would be rejected; it's likely a scam aimed at extracting personal information, so it's best to ignore such calls.
Upon answering the phone, there was no one on the other end
