    Strange 9 digit number calling

    Maybe I am a bit behind on this one, but I thought mobile numbers were 8 digits long. I keep getting 9 digit long numbers originating with +852. Keep missing them but when I call back I either get an obvious mobile voicemail in Chinese or the guy picks up and simply says '

    wái'!

    Been going on for a few days different 9 digit numbers that look like this 932xxxxx7 and a few more. So do 9 digit mobile numbers exist (it seems something certainly does anyway!). Calls getting annoying, too many to block. All very odd.

    Just scam calls spoofing mobile numbers using skype. I had a quick look in my iphone nust now and blocked at least more then 50 this year alone.

    Nice. Thanks for that. I will stop calling them back! Thinking they are just general mobile numbers I thought I was missing something. Cheers for that.
