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.
i just got a call from this number... i didnt answer. i have at least two numbers a day calling me some stupid stuff. but before that i had a collect call and i answered it cause i thought it might be my husband, but it was nobody... anybody an idea how to stop this callers???
I got a call from this number and they wanted my credit card number. They said my husband (they gave his first and last name) was needing to call me collect. I almost gave it to them but when I asked how much it would cost they told me it would $19.95 to connect and the $6.00 for every minute after that.
I got a call from this number last night at 3am!! It woke me up but I didn't answer it, so I googled it this morning and wow! I'm astonished so many people have commented about it! The caller ID said "Private Name" It's a little spooky too...
To all who post here...
The phone numbers 214-969-5489 and 415-656-1073 do not refer to any one single pay phone in any one single location. They are most likely outbound trunk numbers of the long distance companies used by the individual pay phones.
When someone makes a coin paid long distance call from most COCOT pay phones, the pay phone does NOT dial the destination number directly. Instead it dials a toll-free number, listens for a 2nd dialtone, then dials the destination number. By doing this, the company that operates the pay phone will get cheaper long distance rates, but a major side effect of dialing calls this way is that the number of the pay phone will NOT be sent as the Caller ID. Instead callers will receive a 'generic' number that often can not be called back.
Please accept the fact that these numbers (214-969-5489, 415-656-1073, etc.) only indicate a call from some pay phone somewhere, not a specific pay phone location. i hope this helps
