Your friends like may not have gone active as the number may have been allocated to another line, this probably required a technician call to change the pair range over in the cabinet.

As for your comments about making calls from cabinets, I think you need to stop reading conspiracy books... even if someone had the ability to do this then what makes you think it was a Virgin Tech, why not a BT tech who would probably be better prepared for something like this.

What you have probably experienced is a crossed line, but even those invalid call charges could be identified quickly. Have you checked to see what the numbers are? Is there a chance someone else in your house could have called them?
