CRed05 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Has anyone here ever received a phone call from a 12 digit phone number on their cell phone? I got one on Friday and one more today. Also on my phone when the call is coming in it has a little arrow next to the number, which i believe means its an incoming diverted call. Meaning that someone is diverting the calls they get on their phone to mine. Here are the 2 numbers. 150622720852 150622329706 Anyone know what the F this is all about?

justcause Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Was the person on the other end talking sexy, or asking if their rich uncle can depost some money in your account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 i didnt pick up. I did call the number back but since its 12 digits, you get some dude telling you to check the number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 If you have a T1 as your phone connections (at a business) you can adjust your caller id number to be whatever the hell you want. You can make it 3 digits if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 call from outside of the US? No it will have a "+" in front of it and be 11 digits still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 No it will have a "+" in front of it. That's what I thought you ment by the thing infront of the number.. oh well. There is a phone function where you can hide/change your caller ID to anything you want. I'm sure a quick google will reveal something?

Unless you have a T1 connection and your a business, according to Trowa. I searched the number on google, searched 12 digit number but didnt get much. It's probably some business with a T1 line trying to get me to buy something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 If you have a T1 as your phone connections (at a business) you can adjust your caller id number to be whatever the hell you want. You can make it 3 digits if you want. You can also use online providers OR setups a VOIP Trunk using ASterix and set it to what ever you want. 911 is fun to send. If someone quickly do redial umm yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make it 3 digits if you want. Anyone with a willing VOIP provider can do this. However, the number looks Costa Rican. Their prefix is 506, and they use 2 as the first digit of any land phone, followed by 7 digits. So, for what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyall86 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I got calls from numbers very similar to this starting with the 1 506 2. They would always say I won something or lower your credit card debt blah blah blah and then would ask me to hit 1 or something which I never did. Haven't gotten one in about a month.
