Phone Calls from the other side??

pah · 2009-11-17 19:24:24

On three different occasions in the last month I have got a phone call from the Number 0 (Zero) It appears on the screen, with the usual ringtone and displays 0 as it would any other number. I don't have anyone saved in my phone as 0 and when I go to options -> use number it comes up as 0. Wierd. Anyone else experience…

Wierd.

Anyone else experience anything like this?

This was on my N95 8GB. Have N97 now last 10 days. Not happened on that.

Incoming calls with a Voice Over Internet Protocol element to them can appear as zero...

This happens even if the call placer is using a regular cellular or landline service, but someone in the chain uses VOIP to move the call along...
