Reverse Phone Lookup in South Africa — Recent Community Reports
Check unknown South African numbers with recent reports (Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria) and share your experience.
Unknown calls in South Africa
Unsure about a South African number? Explore concise community notes to judge calls and texts. In Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria you’ll see both legitimate callbacks (deliveries, banking, appointments) and waves of robocalls or phishing. Geographic prefixes like 011 (Johannesburg), 021 (Cape Town), 031 (Durban), 012 (Pretoria) and mobile ranges 06/07/08 do not reliably prove identity or exact location due to portability and VoIP — treat them as context.
Verification: call back via the official number on the company website/app, check in‑app notices, and never share one‑time codes by phone. Use device/carrier blocking for repeat issues and leave a short, factual note here to help others.

Harassment Call
Incoming calls occurring at 2 am during the night.
During the last few days I was bombarded with calls that I first ignored. I finally answered the final two, but heard nothing before they were cut off. On the third attempt, a caller mentioned my name and introduced himself as Bongani from a Multichoice‑related department. I told him he must obtain my consent before contacting me, refused to give permission, made it clear I avoid call centres, and ended the call. The other numbers used were 0822036526, 0822036645, 0822036820, 0872939095, 0872939097, 0872939097, 0822036526 and 0822036645. Call centres should request your permission before calling again; tell them they are not allowed. If they call once more, report them to the Information Regulator and know your rights.

Delivery updates, bank callbacks, 2FA codes; robocalls, parcel/account phishing and scripted sales.
Useful report details?
Caller type, purpose, date/time, and cues that guided your decision.
