strange number calling me.

vixmony

Hie everyone I have well in my own opinion a rather strange no calling me. The no is +1(512)908-130, and at the bottom of the number on my iPhone it says Austin TX. I have never come across this number before and its been calling for the last 4 day's, but I have been unable to answer as am at work when ever they try and call. Am on vodafone in, and has anyone else come across this number.?

In other words, it's either some cowboy who can't dial or its spam. Block or ignore it.

Are you sure that's the full number, I'd have expected an extra digit.

001 is the US....ringing 0151 would get you through to someone in Liverpool!


OP, take a look here:

Also, take a look here (companies who have been allocated 01512 prefix):

interesting link you provide. and stompa those are all the numbers . now back to that link I don't quiet understand why would companies, be using such numbers. and perhaps more confusing for me is the Austin tx part written at the bottom of the missed call. And also on that list you gave me some of the companies mentioned, like vodafone and virgin, am actually expecting calls from them. Vodafone for constantly going over my so called 500mb data, which would result in a subsequent call after receiving a certain number of warning texts, and virgin, cause am having a new service installed, at a place am going for a short placement. However am sure most of you guys have also been involved in some of the companies on that list,so have you also received such a missed call.

Well 512 appears to be the correct area code for Austin TX, could it be that your phone is adding the 'Austin TX' itself by looking up the area code?

based on this info I would agree its from Texas, but who the hell would be calling me from Texas. I bet its one of those you have one a dream holiday or a million US LOL. I sure hope they call again so I answer and findout what's the beef,cause I don't remember knowing anyone in Texas.
