What's this number doing?
« 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.

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

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.
