Bonjour,
J'habite dans en France et j'ai eu un appel entrant avec l'indicatif +221,j'ai decroché pour répondre à l'appel, mais la personne au bout du fil ne disait rien, juste un respiration , la communication a duré 14 secondes.
Après avoir cherché sur internet de quel indicatif il s'agissait, provenance du Sénégal, je suis inquiète si il y'a magouille derrière cet appel , surtout avec tout ce qu'on entend.
Je voudrais donc savoir s'il y'a un risque a ce qu'on usurpe mon abonnement via l'appel.Merci de bien vouloir me répondre.

In France, the person who calls pays! Therefore, receiving a call from another country while you are in France costs nothing.
However, the use of numbers with the country code 221 from Senegal exploits a peculiarity of smartphones (especially the iPhone) that causes any missed call to be automatically redialed if the glass face of the device is pressed.
As a result, a device worn on the belt, in a case, will automatically redial a number that originated from a missed call at the slightest pressure. This is why initial calls do not go through after the first ring, as they are interrupted by the calling software.
Therefore, any accidental contact with the front of the iPhone will initiate a redial, of course accidentally and unintentionally, to the scammer’s number, a call that could last indefinitely since it is interrupted neither by the scammer (the number is likely premium-rate), nor by the owner of the device, who will only discover the existence of the call by picking up their iPhone (perhaps a few hours later).
For this kind of "problem" (SMS, advertising call, "brief" call), forward it by SMS (for free) to 33700 (a government service set up several years ago) which is supposed to stop these messages. The perpetrators are forced to change their number to continue.
