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.
Please stop the fuss about this number. It is a switch number belonging to ILD Telecommunications. ILD processes collect, calling card, and credit card calls from payphones, inmate facilities, hotels, schools, etc. The originating caller id does not get passed through on the call. additional info can be found at www.ildtelecom.com. ILD does not control the type of call, but is rather a delivery and billing company processing the call. The reson some people are asked for a credit card is that ILD is unable to bill the call on the called party's home phone bill. Many cable companies and small independant phone companies do not accept these types of 3rd party charges. ILD processes these types of calls for many of the larger phone companies, including Verizon, AT&T, Embarq, etc.
I received a call with this number. It seems an automated lady voice, that it is coming from a parole dept. Please number 3 to accept and charge the bill. I just hang up. I don't know if this is prank call or a scam artist tactics. Could you please investigate on this. I looked into google that there so many complaints about this. Let this number be blocked. Thank you.

I got two missed calls on my cell from 214-969-5489 on 4-11-08 @ 7:46pm & 7:47pm NO MESSAGE! When I tried calling back all I got was a busy signal. Then I tried texting it and my text was unsuccessful because the call came from a landline.
