I agree it might be a fax...why...because i've said hello two days in a row and...there was no one there. Then today I let it go to machine...no message...but the weird thing is...no fax machine sounds...just dead air.

Could you have had an MRI appt scheduled for you from your doctors office? This is usually te radiation dept day the Civic

Just got the call in Ottawa. No message. Called back, and got an automated voice saying "The number 737-8898 is equipped for outgoing calls only".

Ottawa Hospital, all outgoing calls will show this number, if you want to call them back, the number is (613) 737-8899 (not 8898), you will then need the 5 digit extension of the department you wish to reach, so if you don't know that, you're out of luck.

also got a missed call from this number this afternoon

Same Thing

This phone number is for client use at the Ottawa General Hospital.    It is like a payphone, in that it is not equipped to receive incoming calls, but patients are allowed to make calls from the hospital with it.
