Got a Tcell SIM in Tajikistan (I wrote the 'anonymous' post on 25 Sept 2018 about hotel registration etc).

Within an hour of installing the SIM I started getting phone calls.. Pretty amazing since I'd told no-one my phone number ... in fact I didn't know it either .

I received ten calls just on the day I installed the SIM card! It made cold calls to my US number seem restrained .

Apparently they are mostly 'cold' marketing calls. Maybe some genuine wrong numbers too.

I didn't answer any of them (no point since I only speak English). If the same number called more than once (common) I blocked that number so it would not even appear on my screen.

Not a problem, just a minor nuisance. But it's certianly the most cold calls I've ever received to a local SIM in any of the many countries I've visited.

Wifi in Tajikistan is erratic so a local SIM is a good backup.
