Nuisance Calls from own number!

Hi

Not sure how to explain ths but has anyone ever got a call from their own telephone number?

Didnt think that was possible but somehow we had a 1571 ansa message which turned out to be a nusiance call from our own number - it was automaed - we are registered with tps and are ex-directory.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

  • It could be a text message sent to your landline and converted into a voice message. I have had a couple of these and the Caller Display on my phone shows my own number!

    Call1899's VOIP service will allow you to spoof the number calling to a number registered for 1899 - could someone be playing a practical joke?
