Re: o2 calling partners virgin phone to poach custom!!!?
Whilst a mobile number can be traced to it's origional operator, it can then be ported any number of times to other operators. So while a call to that number is routed through the origional operator the customer could effectivley be with ANY mobile operator. I still have a Virgin Mobile number, but I'm now a Tesco Mobile customer.

Think your conclusion is more than likely correct. There is no way they would know what operator you were with unless thay had inside info. Either that or it's plain cold calling.
