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.

THis number called and claimed I missed a meeting with the police at a specific location.  I had made no such arrangement with anyone let alone the police. Whomever it was needs to be found, stopped and punished

Got a called from this number right after midnight more or less 1am just got out from dinner with a friend and walking to the car, when suddenly the phone ring wasn't going to answer because i just purchase my new hand set about two days ago so no one has my number and i haven't made any calls from it etc.... but when i did all i heard was hi you called 911 is everything ok i was like hu... i am sorry proberly the phone got pressed so i ended the call but i was thinking my phone was locked i check my caller id to find out i didnt dial any 911 number. so i dial a 911 number just to see if it would show in my caller id and i did so i was wondering how they can say i called when it doesnt show.

Just got the same call. Asked me who was in the house, told him myself and my 6 month old. Phone was connected to my computer and locked. He said they had already answered and it was a woman on the line. Not in my house, today anyways.

yes a guy called from the above number saying:
"your cell dialed 911, this is the police, do you have an emergency?"
i said "no"
WTF??

There seems to be much confusion about this number when I "googled" it. I was suspicious so I called the Toronto Police non-emergency number (416) 808-2222)to report a suspicious call. I was really embarrassed to find out that (416) 343-7050 is one of their outbound lines. The man I spoke to said he has already had 15 cell phone mis-dials since he started shift 3 hours ago. He said this happens all the time. I thought the call would have been logged on my blackberry like others out there but apparently not. I apologised for wasting their time and will now be locking my phone?.Hope this helps folks.

Got a call from the (416) 343-7050 number as well on my cell phone saying that they were calling from the Toronto police department and advising me that they recieved a 911 call from my cell phone as well. I made no such call.
