Strange number
Hi,
I had a missed call today and the number was 0123456789, re-dialled it and the phone said the number was not valid. I am very intrigued as
to where the call came from and why it could not be called back!
Any ideas?

Re: Strange number
Because it is in no way a valid telephone number. It's just all the numbers on the keypad in order. Someone is fiddling the sytem to hide their telephone number so it's either a cold call from a call center or something similar.

Re: Strange number
Which to me would point to a call center as a lot of companies use call centers that connect via VOIP. I know BT for one do this for their Indian centers.

Re: Strange number
Your right, this can also be done on many "call centre" predictive diallers that are used here in the uk also.

Re: Strange number
I got one today from what seemed to be a Yank number... but no Yanks have my number...
I know one, and he only has my Mobile Number... 0017864375587.
Weird.
