Weird CID received

Hey guys, I just got an odd CID# on my phone and figured you'd be the ones that could shed some light on it.

I got three calls in a row, all within a minute of each other:

1) "Unavailable"
2) "Restricted"
3) "50240787121" (which the phone labeled as Kentucky, from the 502)

Clearly that 3rd call has too many numbers in the CID. Was this basically one of those solicitation calls where they set their own CID? I usually don't answer if something comes up as Unavailable or Restricted - and only looked at the "Kentucky" when the 3rd call came in. If I would have seen all those numbers, I probably would have answered - maybe it was someone on the Moon.

And of course...no voicemail left.

Probably blocked numbers from solicitors.

Re: Weird CID received

Solicitors, telemarketers, creditors, VoIP calls, magic jack calls, you name it.
All send weird or blocked numbers to calling ID.

Re: Weird CID received

Thanks guys...I figured it was just a spoofed CID. I got nervous when THREE calls came in one after another. That's when I thought maybe "THEY" were making contact and I was the phone call that was going to save humanity from death-ray evaporation. But...we're still here, so it was probably just a solicitor.

Re: Weird CID received

and it would sometimes be solicitors with their call centers located in another country. because i get those types of calls. i made a mistake of answering one of them a while back and the person i was talking to was in the Philippines, but the number showed up as a NY number.
