I have an ex gf in the Philippines who phones me from there but the countries' origins show up on my android as coming from Bochum, Hamburg,Netherlands, Finland all with different phone numbers etc. How does she do this?
TIA

All sorts of ways of this happening:
- Prepaid calling cards
- VoiP calls
- SIM cards from other nations

Who'd have thought? Now you know it's so easy. So you're telling me if I committed a crime and Europol were after me and set a honeytrap to get me to phone them to find out which country I was in... Mask-wearing is now the ideal time to rob a bank - just kidding.
