I keep getting odd text msgs from this number.
But .. It seems to be part of the google voice network.
As one of the megs I did get on it was from some one I knew..
BUT that person lives in the 425 area code and I am in 262 ..
So why I get the msgs from a 406 number..
Did some research on the number and google. If you text someone from your google phone number it gets a proxy number in the 406 area code. Your google number is associated with this proxy number. If the person replies to the text message it goes to the proxy number which then relays it to whatever you set up for text messages and the proxy number is shown as the source of the text message on the device. So basically you once sent a text message from your google number to someone. They are now texting back and that is why the 406 number shows up.
Havent tested it but it might be if you didnt forward the message to a device but kept it on google voice you would see the real number. Might also be in the SMS folder.
Got a voice call from this number. Caller asked for me by name but refused to identify herself or company name, so I hung up on her.
If callers don't say, "Hi this is Jill from Acme Corp, is Renado there?" it's a safe bet the person calling you is up to no good. A caller should ALWAYS identify themselves first. I know I do that when I call others.
