Repeated calls from Telus
I am getting calls every day from Telus [888-811-2323] When I answer I hear 3 beeps and then the line goes dead. It has been going on for weeks and I’m really tired of it. I’ve tried calling Telus, ...
Nighthawk,
Thank you for that fast response. I have call control and will look in there later when I can use my computer. I had white-listed some numbers there in the past when I discovered “call backs” weren’t working from some companies. That was really frustrating when BCAA was blocked during car trouble! It seems the call backs aren’t dialled by a human and so can’t get past the message that asks them to enter some additional one-digit number to reach me. I look forward to getting in there and seeing if the calls have actually been spoofed. On the other hand, why the three beeps and a disconnect. I would think the intent of the call would be to get me to give up some valuable information.

Community Power UserThe three beeps and a disconnect are likely the result of no one being able to talk to you on the caller's end.
You're right about Call Control blocking automated calls that are important. I had to white list a bunch of numbers to get around that. Still no telemarketers or scammers get through so it's a fair trade-off to me. 🙂
I checked the number in call control and there was nothing to indicate it was a spoofed call from a different number. I had white-listed the number at some time in the past, likely to receive a call-back from Telus. I have now blocked it, so shouldn’t get any call tomorrow. Thanks for your advice.
I’ve been getting them everyday as well. I answered it once and it was Telus trying to sell me home security. It’s my cell phone so I blocked it yesterday, see if that stops it.
I believed I blocked the number, but I just got another call today. I didn’t have time to answer to see if I would get the 3 beeps and a disconnect 😞
