I just had the phone ring, and after saying hello a couple of times I had a recorded voice say 'Goodbye'.

    It's not just you, we had one a week or so ago.

    Maybe it's a variant of Wowbagger, where he is saying "Goodbye" to everyone in the universe. :)

    I think it's computers dialling mulitudes of numbers and as there's only a certain amount of call centre staff the calls, so when there's no staff to irritate you by asking silly questions it auto says goodbye.
  • Perhaps there actually was a phone conversation but you were zapped with the men in black memory zapping thing! :eek: So all you remember was the "goodbye" at the end! Might want to check your bank statement!

    I get that a lot. When I Google the number it says it's 'Torchwood'.

    No one ever phones me.
    Whenever it rings it's a wrong number.
    I've even phoned myself and still only got a wrong number.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.
