Got a call later, a friend tried to call from a pay phone. He could hear me, but I could not hear him. I guess a lot of pay phones from the US use this number to get cheaper rates on long distance.
This number is a generic number used by a long distance company called IKN. Paytelephones reroute 1+ numbers that the user dials to IKN. IKN in turn routes the user dialed number from a main switch that is located in California - thus the 415 area code. These calls could be coming from ANYWHERE in the US. Also IKN has a switch in Metro Atlanta and thus a 678 area code generated. Hope that explains things.
This is a Pay Phone franchise that is probably owned by this Emad guy. My niece regularly uses a pay phone in Louisville, KY and this is the number that always comes up. And since that town does not have that area code, I'm sure that's the explanation.
