Received a collect call today from this # and it asked for a credit card # stating it was a collect call from my sons friend. It has my sons friend voice on it. I knew he was going to Texas so I thought something was wrong and input my cc # but the system said it was declined which it shouldn't been. Now I am afraid that was a big mistake. Called the number back and answering message that the call couldnt be completed.
It's a collect call processing company. Be careful, they asked for a CC to complete the call because a cell cannot accept incoming calls. When I asked the amount they said $34.00. I was like, umm, no...that's ok.
This is a telecommunications switch number belonging to ILD Telecommunications. They process collect and credit card calls from payphones, hotel rooms, airphones, cruiseships, jails, prisons, dorm rooms, etc. This is the number of the swtching platform located in Dallas TX. The number where the call originates is not passed through on these types of calls. These are typically legitimate calls but occassionly there will be individual scams attempted by individuals, not from ILD Telecom. Web site is www.ildtelecom.com
