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.
Here's what "Why R U Calling" had to say about this number:
"Call details:

214-969-5489 is an “In Switch” identification number belonging to ILD Telecommunications. While it may appear on your caller ID as a ten digit number it is not an accessible number for inbound or outbound dialing. ILD’s communications switch processes many types of calls including long distance, toll free services, collect calls, operator assisted calls, calling card, teleconferencing, directory assistance, and direct dial services.

i got a call from this number this morning and it was collect. well my mom answered and it was collect from my name. she knew that i was in my room but accepted it anyway because maybe it was one of my friends. when i answered a guy asked me if i was daniel and i said no this is john bob (because im a smart [***]) and then he said you accepted my call costing you 10 dollars dumbass, biotch. wow how did they know my first and last name because my house number is not even under my name but my step-father and mother with last names than me? wow then i googled it and found this site and yea this is weird
We recieved a call from this number collect on Saturday from a girl we had posted as missing, and it was her I know her voice, but we believe she is not in the right frame of mind mentally, she said she was in wilmington south carolina or north carolina and she wanted to fly home to michigan and wanted my moms credit card and she told her no she didn't have that kind of money then she said she would take 177.00 for the bus and wanted a credit card for this and my mom told her she didn't have one. I think my mom would have been willing to western union, but when she asked for a phone number or address to where she was she did not give one. We find this very strange. If this is a call center that these collect calls are getting routed through do they have any way of locating where it is being originated from?
This number keeps calling with a collect call from someone in Roanoke City Jail. I don't know anyone in jail so I never accept. This is a Texas area code and I live in NC. This has been going on for weeks. When I call back, number is busy. Does anyone know how to report this number to make them stop?
