not your average question, but i think its legitimate


Question Posted Wednesday June 29 2005, 4:23 pm

ok, this is really weird. this morning i was sleeping and my cell phone rang. i answered it and it was some lady saying "allo" over and over again. i just hung up and she called back again saying the same "allo" and she said something like "sylvia?".. that's not the weird part, the weird part was the phone number. +911125450138 was the number. it was 12 digets! i dont understand how that could be a phone number when it starts with 911. i was thinking maybe it was another country. i found that 911 is an area code in china, germany and indonesia. does anyone know anything about this? i know you have to dial a code to make out of country calls.. so maybe 911 is the US code? if you have any information, please let me know. thanks

WOW!! You are of the FEW people that submit questions on here that actually seems like you have even the TINIEST big of intelligence; good for you!! And to think, I thought this world was COMPLETELY going to shit...

And you couldn't tell if they had an accent?? Or were you just too tired to get that part?? I can tell you right now that the '911' area code is NOT an area code within the United States of America.



I seaRched online a bit for you some, and came up with a few sites you should look at:

- [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
^^^^^ just proves that the area code '911' is designated as an '"Emergency" number ONLY.

- [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
^^^^^^A list of OTHER COUNTRIES, and the '911' area does NOT appear ONCE!!

- [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
^^^^^^^ALSO states that there is no such thing as area code '911'.

- [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
^^^^^Again, no such number.



I spent about a good 15 minutes trying to find this out for you. Sorrie I couldn't be of more help, but have you ever thought that it could be a CALLING CARD?? Hmmmm... any possibility??? I just have nooo idea.. :P

To call the US from another country you have to dial 001. That is America's country code. So it would be 001-area code-phone number.

It's probably an out of country number. 911 isn't the country code for the US - it's 01 or 11, I can't remember which, though. It could also be just from a weird phone system - some phone systems can have odd caller ID information.

If she calls back again, just say it's a wrong number. Or don't pick up - it might be charging you on your cell phone bill.
