Just wondering if anyone can clear up what's been happening here recently?.
My home phone is connected via Voip (as I cancelled my landline completely a year or two ago) using a Grandstream HT-702 Voip adaptor, feeding a Panasonic Dect phone with four handsets.
About a week ago we started getting loads of nuisance calls, some had caller ID of 401 - which seemed strange?, but I was able to simply add that number to the call barred list in the phone.
The other calls though were like nothing I've seen before, no caller ID, and the ringing didn't pulsate - it was continuous, so never triggered the answer phone in the Panasonic. If you answerd the phone all you got was a regular beeping. As this went on throughout the night, I unplugged the phone entirely.
As a solution I've bought and installed a CallBlocker, and set it to refuse all withheld numbers (and various others as well), and this appears to have solved the problem.
But has anyone any idea what these calls are?, and why it's a continuous ringing signal?.
