I am no exception. I have an Idaho phone #, and I am getting these calls. Same like everyone else, no message explaining who they are, but according to an app on my phone, it is out of Hayden, ID.
Yes Dee, all 208 area codes come from Idaho. Idaho is one of a few states left that have only one area code. We are ok with that and most people are nice and have respect for their neighbors and understand that seedy companys can pop up anywhere even in our po-dunk little towns. Have a great day! I am proud to be an Idahoan!
Dee is correct. It is technically very simple to place a call from a 208 area code while actually being located elsewhere. Another state, another country, it is all easy-peasy. Isn't technology fun?
Dee is correct. Internet based phones are able to use whatever area code is purchased; for example, you can have a phone through Vonage, and select a phone number within an available area code. It makes it easier for people like me to have a 651 number (for St Paul, MN) which is local for my family there, even though my normal phone is a 208 here in idaho.
