+12345 - Who's number is this?

ToxicPaddy · 04-03-2009 3:47pm #1

I keep missing calls from this number, +12345, and they never ever leave a message.

Always get them when I'm in meetings etc, so cant answer the phone..
Probably some marketing company hence why they dont leave a message..

Anyone getting these too?

+1 is USA - that said, most of them usually have more than 4 numbers :P

Illegal, call your network provider and insist they block it.

Answered a call from +1234567 the other day. Had ignored the calls for a while but curiosity got the better of me.

Was NTL trying to sell me a phone package

Sounds like it could be someone from Sesame Street.

You've won the Nigerian lottery. Just have your bank details ready next time they ring.

Sounds like someone has a caller ID scrambler on their phone.

Came across a few of them in the States.

NTL do a smiler thing with there txt messages, which is illegal in Ireland because you can reply with "STOP" with is requested by CommReg

had 17 missed calls on me phone the other day from +12345

finally got through to me and it was an indian trying to "save me money" by selling me a phone package.

i asked him how can an extra bill save me money?

he went silent and i just laughed at him

then hung up.....

It's people from the past trying to communicate with you! Their telephone call got zapped with ionised hadrons which were on route to being gulped down by a wormhole. Answer it next time
