    Missed a call earlier from a number that started with +88 .... the next 3 digits were 132 if that helps. Tried ringing it back and got a disconected tone. Google is proving useless or maybe Im not asking it right. Does anyone know where it could be from?

    +881... is an Inmarsat satellite phone number.

    Bangladesh is +880.

    Got the same thing last week or the week before, it was +88 1 something or other, the phone literally rang for about a half a second & they hung up. Weird!

    It's the ole missed-call scam - hoping you will call back the number which will then cost you a lot of money.
