Hello,
I’m on iPhone 7 with iOS 11.2.5 and since Thursday February 1st it rings but no one calls me. It uses my ringtone "Les tontons flingueurs". Calls are repetitive and depending on what I do on my iPhone this ringtone appears but it also appears without doing anything as soon as I turn it on in the morning. The ringtones last about 2 seconds.
I’ve already tried turning the iPhone off completely, removing and reinserting the SIM card but it’s still the same ??
What’s going on?
Thanks for your help and best regards.

Hello everyone, since yesterday I have the same issue overnight: my iPhone 7 starts ringing by itself, without anyone tinkering with the app settings. After this strange call there are no notifications or missed calls; the iPhone rings at random and I can’t answer or do anything. Has anyone had this problem before and above all how to fix it, thanks in advance for your help

Hi Munch! I don’t know much about it, but I had the same problem on my iPhone when a friend sent me via Messenger a text like "Is that really you Mireille?" And me replying "Well yes" that's it. And then I received a video I didn’t touch and I wrote an email to this friend who told me I had done the right thing because his account had just been hacked. So I definitely did not open that video, but even when doing nothing I had a ringtone I downloaded (not an original one) that rang as if someone was calling me and there was no record of a call. I had dozens and even more calls every day. Since iTunes changed, I wanted to delete this ringtone but I couldn't, and finally after insisting I managed to, and since I deleted it I haven’t had anyone ringing me anymore (in fact I must have picked up just a little virus via that ringtone). So if your ringtone that rings is one you downloaded, I suggest you simply delete it and you’ll see, I hope you’ll have the same luck as me. Good luck and have a nice weekend. Mireille A
