They just called me, and they don't speak or anything.
I think this is the same number that called me offering me a free LG Phone with Sprint, and its risk free for thirty days and more nonsense in long droning outsourced accents. I hanged up on the [***], and they called back almost instantly. (ussually a sign of some scam.) They called back again, and I gave them false information for a few minutes and I got bored with the guy and told him I think this is a scam. He laughed off my worries, (Another sign of a scam!) so I just told him send me a letter, and hanged up on him. now it seems they call trying to get someone else, because now they don't talk. Bunch of pansies!
712-429-0366 is a company that is known as as CLEC or Competitive Local Exchange Carrier, a telephone company that competes with an incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) such as a Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC), GTE, ALLNET, etc. The passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, The Act allows companies with CLEC status to use ILEC infrastructure. For customers concerned that your numbers were sold they were not, I am with Alltel and they are calling me as well. Go to the following website for more information:

I hope this website helps explain what they do, if not, just type the word, CLEC in your search engine and it will list all sorts of information.
I get a call about once a week from this number, or one with -0055. When I answer, there's no response. I call the number back, and I get a "phone disconnected" message. Baffling.
Claimed to be calling from Sprint, laughed when we said we'd report the incident. Caller ID showed the number, reverse directory had no info other than Sloan, IA. Got another call from a similar number two days later, same results. Registered both on the "Do not Call" website. I doubt it'll help, but I had to do something!
I got a call from the same number. I wanted to look it up and found this site. I am going to answer the call next time and pretend to be interested and give false information and get information from them so I can sue them. Litigation is where the money is made and my sisters a lawyer so I get free legal representation. Oh, please call me back so I can retire.
