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

also got a missed call from this number this afternoon

got a message last night, left me a message , said hi this is james, talk to you later , bye. tried calling back and says outgoing calls only...

Yup, it's the Ottawa General Hospital... but not specifically MRIs, my girlfriend works there (but nowhere near radiology) and just called me via this number. It's cool.

I got a call at 5:59 this morning. (I was asleep) A man with a middle Eastern accent said hello and started breathing heavy after I said hello. I hung up after a few seconds.I tried calling back and it says "this number is equipped for outgoing calls only."Someone reported this is the MRI departmemt. Nobody in our family is waiting for one. Not impressed because of the hour of this call.

As stated in an earlier e-mail, this is a number used by the Ottawa General Hospital for "out-going calls only" (you cannot call back at this number). It is a general number used by all staff at the hospital for out-going calls (ie. not just for MRI).

My call was definitely from The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Ctr Radiology Oncology Dept.If you're receiving weird calls with foreign accents, it can be from a country such as India, Pakistan or Africa;  I was watching an investigation on TV's Marketplace or Fifth Estate where these people are able to make it look like they're calling from an Ottawa (613) number when in reality they are calling from another country, often a call Ctr trying to sell you something like "Duct Cleaning" or trying to scam you.  You can report questionable unwanted calls through a Cdn Gvmt web site.I believe it's CRTC who handles these reports
