Call Bomber

What a call bomber actually does

A call bombing service rents a high-volume SIP trunk or connects to a disposable VoIP account, then places hundreds of outbound calls per minute to a single target. The victim's phone rings continuously, often with the caller ID hidden. The objective is usually intimidation, not conversation — the attacker wants the victim to answer, because an answered call is what makes the harassment feel real.

Because the attack relies on borrowed telecom infrastructure, the number shown to the victim is usually a spoofed or rotating virtual number. This is why police complaints are so hard to trace back to the person who started the attack.

Why this works the way it does

We are not able to send you phone calls, and we would not build it if we could. In India, repeatedly sending unsolicited calls or voice messages to another person is an offence under section 66D of the Information Technology Act, 2000, punishable with imprisonment up to three years. TRAI's telecom licensing conditions also prohibit unsolicited communication, and every major carrier now terminates numbers that generate sustained complaint volumes.

So this page does the only genuinely useful thing it can do: it shows you the visual experience, so you understand what is happening if it ever happens to you, and so you can recognise the pattern early. No number you type here reaches any server, and a Content Security Policy on this site blocks outbound data transmission at the browser level as a second layer of protection.

How to tell you are being call bombed

A genuine attack has a recognisable shape. The interval between calls is short and irregular, the caller ID is usually hidden or a rotating number, and the calls continue well past the point where a wrong number would have hung up. If you receive more than a handful of calls in an hour from numbers you do not recognise, treat it as an attack rather than a coincidence.

The correct response is never to answer repeatedly. Block the numbers, register on the National Customer Preference Register, and report the pattern. We have put together a step-by-step checklist for that.

• Calls arrive in bursts of 5 to 20, then stop for a minute, then resume
• Caller ID is hidden, spoofed, or rotates through many virtual numbers
• Nobody speaks when you answer — only dial tone, or an automated recording
• The pattern repeats for hours or days without anyone claiming a wrong number
