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.

Just got a call from this number around 2am!
When I try to call back the call doesn't go through

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 just got call from (416) 343-7050 , i tried calling back but getting busy signal , call doesn't go anywhere.

Same s**t different day

I got a call this evening, same thing, "this is the toronto police dept 911 services, we got a call from this cell #. Is everything ok?"  I hope this is not a scam of some sort.  I called it back and nothing, I got a busy signal. I think will call the police dept. and report this #.

Now it makes sense, same thing happened to me.  On my call log, it said that I did make an emergency call.  I have a blackberry, and when it is locked, and a key is pressed, there is an option to make an emergency call.  I guess enough keys were pressed, by accident, to make that emergency call.I'm not sure if this applies to other cell phones.

i got a call from this number (416) 343-7050 and ask me if i dialled 911
i told her no i didn't ....y are they calling me...i didnt dialed 911 and when i return called this number its disconnected right away..

Received 2 calls this morning at 8:55 and 8:56 from this number. I did not answer it.

This is an outbound line from the Toronto Police 911 Communications Centre. They will call you from this phone # when your phone dials 911 and no one is on the line. Could be an accident from having your phone in your pocket, or from giving your child the phone to play with. Some phones will not show you placed a 911 call in your log if it is activated by your touch screen and not by dialing the numbers yourself. All they are doing is calling you back to make sure there is no real emergency, just let them know you dialed in error.
