At 8 AM on April 17 2018 I got a call from (416) 343-7050. Message left was just some noise. When I called the number, I got the old "number is no longer in service"...That night at 1:09 AM I heard a bang on my door. I come out and there is a police officer standing at my door, his car in my driveway. He says "Do you have a problem with your phone?" I said "I don't know and I don't care, its 1 AM and I was sleeping". He said that he had a message on his "system" that I had a problem with my phone and because I can't call 911 he had to advise me of this. We got into an argument and I said to him that I didn't think it was necessary for him to be banging on my door in the middle of the night about my phone. Anyways it turned out that my phone was actually just fine.
Next day I called the police and gave them my story. They were able to check it and told me that someone called 911 from my number and than the call was disconnected. In those situations police are obligated to visit the residence to make sure that everything is OK.
My experience with (416) 343-7050 is similar to many other comments and that's why I posted it. It has to do with the police and 911 calls. Unfortunately the cops were unwilling to pursue this with me to try and figure this out so I think this will continue to happen.
I think its time that CRTC or the govt. or somebody got after Bell and Rogers and got them to properly police their networks.
It should not be possible for anyone to call from a number "that is no longer in service"!? This nuisance that millions of customers have to endure should end. Of course Bell and Rogers have really no incentive to fix this. Not only it would cost them money but also they would not be making as much money from selling unlisted numbers and call display services. Corporate greed wins again and consumers lose. Its a disgrace.

Its Toronto Police Parking Enforcement. Typically they only call you when they have arrived at your place because you have placed a call to them for some parking infraction on your property.
The reason they dont answer if you call back is because you need to go through switch board. This number does not accept incoming calls.

I just received a call from this number, but I did not pick it up.
I have a Mobilicity phone and it shows that I made an Emergency call using 112, which is doubtful since my phone was in my pocket and turned off.
I tried calling the number back, and received message "wireless number is unavailable at this time, please try again later"...

There seems to be much confusion about this number when I "googled" it. I was suspicious so I called the Toronto Police non-emergency number (416) 808-2222)to report a suspicious call. I was really embarrassed to find out that (416) 343-7050 is one of their outbound lines. The man I spoke to said he has already had 15 cell phone mis-dials since he started shift 3 hours ago. He said this happens all the time. I thought the call would have been logged on my blackberry like others out there but apparently not. I apologised for wasting their time and will now be locking my phone?.Hope this helps folks.

To all those saying it's because the BlackBerry calls automatically, it doesn't seem to be so... straight from the BlackBerry handbook: "You can only make emergency calls by typing official emergency access numbers (for example, 911 in North America or 112 in countries that are part of the European Union)."I tend to get these calls early in the morning when I've been sleeping and my phone isn't being used and has been lying on the table alone all night.Also, why do I see the exact same post saying "Hope this helps folks" (B.Rad) at the end on multiple websites and posts too? I don't trust those posts.

I filed an incident report and this is the number that called notifying me that they had dispatched officers to my house.

It is the service number for the police.

Same thing happened to me this evening, got a call from this number claiming to be "Toronto Police" saying that my cell phone was calling 911, is everything okay? According to my call log I did not make any calls to 911, however I do have a blackberry and the keypad was locked. There is a possibility it hit "emergency call", but I would think this would show in the call log. Tried to call the number back, but it doesn't ring, just drops.Suspicious.
