I am visiting Edmonton from American.  Last night was my first night here, and I got a call in the middle of the night on my American cell phone from (780) 424-5841.  I thought it was very strange that I got a call from an Edmonton number, since nobody from Edmonton knows that I am here except for the friend that I am staying with.  My cell phone is from Verizon Wireless, and my area code is 812, which is Indiana.  I never received any unknown calls from Canada when in the US.  I find it very disturbing after reading these other complaints about this number, since it seems to indicate that the person who originated this call must have had knowledge that this cell phone was in Edmonton.I did not answer the phone since I was sleeping.

(780) 424-5841These guys called my cell asking whose phone it was and all kinds of questions- told them off and hung up.

From looking over the history of these posts, it seems like this is some form of re-direct number where people can call from some place else, and this number shows. I would call telus and complain, in addition to filing a complaint with the CRTC. Of course, getting Telus to do anything is next to impossible because Telus has no clue what customer service means.

I think this is a "dummie" number. When someone calls from a calling card, calls off of the computer, or uses a scrambler..a phone number will come up on your caller ID. This number is not really in service, its just a "dummie" or masking number. I have had a few of these call me, and one was a friend who told me about this.

So buddy actually called me back !!!! He said that my sin # didnt match up and needed the correct one! He faught with me about how he needed it and he was calling from Bell mobilty until i said i talked to the actaully Bell Canada and then the line went blank!!!!

this number has called me numerous times, yet I can't call it back. I am getting tired of it.
