Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / T-Mobile / July 2007Call from 1 000 000 0000
Any idea who/what made this call? My phone just rang, but the other party hung up before I could answer it, only one ring. On the caller ID and Received Calls log, it said the call was from number 1 000 000 0000. I tried calling this back and got a recorded message that "Your call cannot be completed to the carrier you have selected. Please contact customer care for assistance. Message 64OHO1." The message didn't even say if it was T-Mo's message. I take it the OH in the message code may be Ohio, where I live. Thanks. -- One in ten billion, I guess... > Any idea who/what made this call?

Logical answer I guess, but what I really meant if the number is a certain T-Mobile caller ID message code that maybe T-Mo or the network sent or something similar. Obviously it's not a valid phone number, and most caller ID codes will say "Private No" or "Out Of Area" or "Anonymous", etc. This gives no meaning to whatever it's supposed to mean. -- > One in ten billion, I guess... > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > message.

Seriously, some PBXs send gibberish for calling number ID, and I have seen some handsets reset to send other than the actual calling number ID. > Logical answer I guess, but what I really meant if the number is a certain > T-Mobile caller ID message code that maybe T-Mo or the network sent or [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >>>message.

Caller ID sent to the receiving phone (land line OR Cellular) comes from the telephone/cellular companies switch, not the individual phone or a PBX. -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net >>Seriously, some PBXs send gibberish for calling number ID, and I have >>seen some handsets reset to send other than the actual calling number ID. >> > >Caller ID sent to the receiving phone (land line OR Cellular) comes from the >telephone/cellular companies switch, not the individual phone or a PBX. OK, so the PBX or handset causes the telco switch to send gibberish. In any case, it's gibberish being sent downline, and it is sending-line specific. That's probably a telemarketer spoofing caller ID via VoIP. Do a Google search on spoofing Caller ID. =============================================== >Any idea who/what made this call?

I Googled several answers given here and it came up with telemarketers being the provider of these calls more than anything else. -- > Any idea who/what made this call?

I had even gone and paid for an additional credit check to see if it was on our credit report and thankfully, it was not. I have never answered this since we have literally stopped answering calls that say, "out of area" or something like this one with a 1-000-000-0000 number or "caller id blocked". So, today I hit the *57 on my phone which allows you to trace the call. I was told that the call was successfully traced but now I must pay a fee and call their 800 number but I can only do this on Monday's thru Friday. Since today is Saturday, you'all will have to wait..hahaha! But, I will be happy to let you know who it is. Also, if you ever want to call these idiots back or any "idiot", hit *67 first, and then you will hear the dial tone again and then dial their number. What this does is it will block your number from them. You can also set up your phone to do this all the time to calls that say, " Caller ID Blocked, Out of Area or any thing else that prevents you from seeing who it is calling you. You can do this on land phone as well as cell phones.. Using backspoof by the zero group, will show you what provider is calling you.
