My wife just received the same type of call from the same number an hour ago. Qwest said it's a landline in the Orlando, FL metro area (Orange County). I tracked it to a cell phone and the carrier is Royal Street Communications. We live in AZ.
Missed a call from them on my cell phone that no one except family has the number for. No message. Usually means computer for sales call center, survey, or collector for the chick that used to have my number..
