What does it mean when you get a call on your iphone from a number in a foreign country?

Before on my iphone i got a call out of the blue from a caller in california, i'm in the uk… A strange number that i don't know… Calling me from hawthorne california, i didn't answer it, because i didn't know who its from and i don't answer strange numbers who call in general.

this is the first time this has happened on my iphone and just want to know what it means?

and is there a way i can block numbers like this on my iphone from people i don't know in a foreign country, when i know no one from there?

Probably a telemarketer or a company that somehow got your phone number

Who knows? You have the right policy. Don't let your curiosity get the better of you. Same applies to emails…

It just means that some scammer calling you. Ignore it or block it.
