Default Is there any way to stop incoming international calls on my cell?
My problem started when I got this number a little more than a year ago. I'm probably on the US Terrorist watch list by now, because I keep getting random phone calls to my cell from from countries like Armenia, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. They don't just call and hang up though, they leave messages on my voicemail. Sometimes they're short, but most of the time they're a few minutes long. Of course, I don't have a damn clue what they're saying. For all I know they're just prank calling some "dumb American" but I don't like it. So...does anyone know if Verizon Wireless can stop international calls on my cell? I don't know anyone overseas, I don't know anyone traveling overseas, and I sure don't know anyone in that particular region of the world. They've woken me up too many times that I now have to leave my phone off at night, and I'm not going anywhere near an airplane with that whole US-international wiretapping thing. Any ideas would be helpful.

I actually think it is kinda funny. While it could potentially screw me over, I've flown only once in my lifetime, so I can poke fun at it as much as I want. If it keeps up any longer, I'll call up Verizon and see what they can do. Until then, joking with friends that I'm a potential candidate for the Terror Watch list always gets a few good responses...especially when they hear messages in Armenian or whatever language I get that day. [yes]
Edit: While I doubt a few unanswered calls from people I don't know could get me on the list, I won't be laughing if I indeed am on the list. I am not a terrorist in any regards and I do enjoy my liberties.

Probably nothing to worry about m8 Quite a few numbers used to be redirected to my cell. My number for example is 00316xxxxxx06 but every number after the xxxxxx got connected to my cell [rofl] Was quite funny though, I had grandmothers looking for their daughters and angry mums on the phone

It must be a mistake, since them calling you costs them money (and not a bit either since it's your cell) so it'll probably just solve itself.

Find a translator, or take it to a high government agency. Let them translate for you and even tap your phone. You never know what they could be saying, and you might be able to tell better stores like, "You see that on the news, that mountain blowing up, that is because of me!" "Hey hizahija was captured! That was because of me you bi/ches!"
If there is a bounty for these people, maybe you can even get some of the reward money?

Maybe your number is an old terrorist users number and they haven't gotten their list updated.

My God, what an idea! Call a seemingly random US number where the person has no idea what the F you're saying and doesn't really care and then have your United States counterparts call in from a public phone and use the voicemail password they hacked to listen in on the message you left! Genius!
