Expert Opinion

Around midnight, the line lights up and you’re met with endless silence or looping music. This pattern points to a silent robocall often used by telemarketers to verify active numbers. Answering rarely helps and can confirm the line as live, prompting more calls. Block the number through your phone’s built‑in tools or a third‑party blocker, and report it to your carrier for investigation. Avoid calling back – the automated system will just replay music and waste your time. Keep a log of call frequency and consider filing a complaint with the communications regulator if the harassment continues.
