Called today on my phone while I was away. The message is recorded sort of voice from a baby with adult in a background or some like that.

called 10:30 am on a Sunday. didn't leave a message

A 10 second wait, then hang up.   Other complaints listed also.  I think 289 is Ontario....I live in BC (250 area code).

Called around 6:00am on a monday morning. I work nights so i was sleeping and they work me up, the Caller display said name unavailable, so no way am i answering.Same experience as others, when calling back annonymously says the call can not be completed as dialed. So we know it's a spoofed number call made by someone who's using a VOIP system (more than likely.)Someone checking to see if you're home or whatever.Don't answer, report number to CRTC (not much they can do with a spoofed number).Good luck, maybe just turn the phones off untill you are awake or receiving.

Why does this number call me constantly and there is nobody there, EVER! It has been freaking me out but now I don't feel so bad knowing other people have this happening to them as well. This needs to stop!!!!

1) This is not a real number. Like previous poster stated, the caller is using VOIP software (Probably Asterisk) to spoof (fake) the 289 phone number and hide their real number. This is impossible to protect against, however if a trace is done on the number, the phone company would be able to give the police the IP address (Warrant required) from the VOIP packet header and find out the source (so long as it wasn't proxied) of the original caller. 2)How did they get your number? They didn't. They simple called every number in existence with a dialer (Ie. (905) 389-0000, (905) 389-0001, and so on). When you pick up the phone, they know your number is in service and add it to their database to call again and sell to others. Then play you their spammy message. 3)Stop being so dumb.
