Title: What's this number doing?
Post by: rbcp on April 19, 2007, 07:59:45 AM

812-764-8110.  When I call it, it immediately disconnects and I get a dial tone.  Weird.  At first, I thought I was getting someone else's dial tone so I called ANI.  But ANI gives me my own number. 

Normally when you disconnect from a number, you have a few seconds of silence and maybe, eventually, a "please hang up" recording.  This one goes straight to dial tone.  When I call it from my cell, it immediately puts the phone back in standby mode.  It doesn't flash that I've disconnected and it doesn't display that I was connected for a second or two like it does with any other number that hangs up on me.

What is it?  Fone Finder tells me that it should be with Cingular Wireless. I asked them, though, and they have no records on the number.  Any ideas?

A loop for checking certain things out?  Like a loop to call a cell tower or something?

I dialed the number, and sadly it seems to be inaccessible in Canada. I tried to dial from a phone that appears to come from Colorado with no luck.

Hey that's near me... New Albany, IN area code.  What I get is a fast busy signal.  Where'dya find it anyhow?

I'm from 812 also. Indiana is so rural though. That area code actually covers the entire bottom third of the state or so.

I just get the error from my provider: "This number is not accepting incomming calls at this time".

Its extremely possible that this number belongs to them, but it doesnt have a customer assigned to it. Or service was ended abruptly.  There are a couple of Verizon Wireless numbers that do that around here.  My guess is the switch is faulty, or possibly that it got moved around or something by accident.
