the "how are you finding the market" question

[SlipTheJab]

I have noticed that as soon as I switch on my phone I am getting a call ... its happening too regularly now for it to be a coincidence...is this possible for agencies to have in place?

They are watching you (cue xfiles music)...

[hgllgh]

No

It must be .... its happening practically every day

Absolutley not. The only possibilities are an IMSI attach SMS or they are hammering the phone.

It is not a feature translated to SS7 signalling so if calling from a landline they would only receive the SMS if there was no PABX in the way, i.e. a single POTS line with an SMS to speech service.*

If they are calling from a mobile, SMS in UMTS is sent using the SRB, so they would get a text message to their phone.

*Well you could implement it in a PABX for DD, but never seen it in the wild.
