Any ideas? I got the first phonecall within 12 hours of activating the
SIM and no-one had the telephone number at the time other than me and
one other person (I doubt she has anything to do with it)

That doesn't mean the number wasn't previously someone-else's though,
perhaps on a PAYG contract that fell into disuse.

^ this. 100%.

Try ringing it & see who answers?



Difficult to ring 'unknown' but if you know a way I'd dearly like to
hear it

The number will be known by your phone service provider. There is an
obscure piece of European legislation that I found a couple of years
ago, but I can't remember where. It states that the phone companies
*CAN* provide you with the number where calls are of a nuisance nature -
which would include repeated silent calls.
