At 8 AM on April 17 2018 I got a call from (416) 343-7050. Message left was just some noise. When I called the number, I got the old "number is no longer in service"...That night at 1:09 AM I heard a bang on my door. I come out and there is a police officer standing at my door, his car in my driveway. He says "Do you have a problem with your phone?" I said "I don't know and I don't care, its 1 AM and I was sleeping". He said that he had a message on his "system" that I had a problem with my phone and because I can't call 911 he had to advise me of this. We got into an argument and I said to him that I didn't think it was necessary for him to be banging on my door in the middle of the night about my phone. Anyways it turned out that my phone was actually just fine. Next day I called the police and gave them my story. They were able to check it and told me that someone called 911 from my number and than the call was disconnected. In those situations police are obligated to visit the residence to make sure that everything is OK. My experience with 416-343-7050 is similar to many other comments and that's why I posted it. It has to do with the police and 911 calls. Unfortunately the cops were unwilling to pursue this with me to try and figure this out so I think this will continue to happen. I think its time that CRTC or the govt. or somebody got after Bell and Rogers and got them to properly police their networks. It should not be possible for anyone to call from a number "that is no longer in service"!? This nuisance that millions of customers have to endure should end. Of course Bell and Rogers have really no incentive to fix this. Not only it would cost them money but also they would not be making as much money from selling unlisted numbers and call display services. Corporate greed wins again and consumers lose. Its a disgrace.

Its Toronto Police Parking Enforcement. Typically they only call you when they have arrived at your place because you have placed a call to them for some parking infraction on your property. The reason they dont answer if you call back is because you need to go through switch board. This number does not accept incoming calls.

I just received a call from this number, but I did not pick it up. I have a Mobilicity phone and it shows that I made an Emergency call using 112, which is doubtful since my phone was in my pocket and turned off. I tried calling the number back, and received message "wireless number is unavailable at this time, please try again later"...

I called 911 intentionally this morning because I was choking. I lost control of the phone, and this number called me back to see if I needed assistance.It Is not a scam or surveillance. They are just 911 switchboard people savin' lives. Thank them next time they call.

it happened to me on the home phone line calling back the aforementioned number, and not blackberry it was a number which you call which patches you into the police 911 line- you don't speak to them but they seem to think you called them- which i didn't. Why that benefits anyone i've no idea but i think the likes of Rogers should figure out how someone does that to an emergency line repeatedly.Not all these people sat on their phone- or had the issue you did, so it's a serious issue which your above posting completely misses. And your message suggests erroneously that it's down to them so you should probably remove it.

Got a call today saying I dialed Toronto Police and asking if I was ok.
