Its used by people calling from Ipod touches I know cuz when my brother-in-law phones from it that shows up. So you have random people who can call from the IPod touch. if you phone the police they can get permission to find out from the company what the IP address connecting to it is. the problem is that you can use any wireless internet that isnt password protected. So I could go outside starbucks, phone you with my ipod touch (not I-phone) and harass you. lovely isn't it.Just to clarify, anyone who calls a metro vancouver number using the Ipod touch (if they use the free application on the ipod touch) will be routed through this number. Like the guy above me said its voip caller id. this number isn't a person, its just a service that connects an internet connection to a phone (as in your telephone when they call).

I just got a call as well: 12:15pm april 8th 2009
Called it back but got a fast busy tone.

btw if this is a routing number how are some people claiming to be able to call it and get someone that answers?

just no answer and very intrusive to my day

I've just started being bombarded with nuisance calls in the last week, including this no. They all started right after I place a few ads on Craigslist. When I did a quick search of one of the numbers, up came a Craigslist ad listed by someone selling something from a basement suite in North Vancouver. I have never picked up, but it's really annoying. Yesterday I received three calls, back-to-back. As it happens, I just sprained my foot, so hobbled to the phone three times. This number (604) 628-2598) was call no. 3. A minute before that was a "blocked" call and a minute before that was (604) 678-9476 (a cursory search revealed that the latter no. was known to RCMP and could be reported to RCMP Phone Busters at 1-+1 888-495-8501), which I promptly did. Reason would dictate that all three calls came from the same person/people.The RCMP told me to just not pick up. Today I blocked (604) 628-2598, but I'm sure they'll keep calling from the "blocked" and other numbers. I have better things to do with my life than dodge calls from scam artists, add to my "blocked" list, and sit around on hold for half an hour waiting for RCMP Phone Busters. There needs to be more energy and funds directed to protecting the public and maybe a little less to furthering technology right now. It's intrusive, violating and stressful.

Some idiot called from this number telling my wife that we "won a  trip for two to Florida" and then started prying for personal information.Thankfully my wife just hung up on her.

Called me on a Saturday evening and left a message which said, "Hey John Fried, I'm fingering my a**hole right now." Disturbing.
