OT: My phone # shows a different # when I
call people. It shows 203-740-5522. When I looked it up online many people are having the same problem. Not only that they have people calling them from this # claiming to be from the IRS and other things. Is this happening to antone else?

Have you always had your cell phone in Florida? 203 is a CT area code

Yes. My phone is a cell through Metro PCS. I was on the phone the other day and the people were going to call me back and asked if this was the # to call back and I of course said no and gave them my #. I thought it was kind of strange at first but didnt think anything of it afterward. Then my mom calls me tonight and said the same thing. Thats when I googled the # and found all this out. I was going to call the # to see what would happen but then I thought it might do some damage. Who knows.

If you haven't already looked at this link, try it. It's really interesting.

I just hope that if I call someone that it cant somehow be registered somewhere and then they try to call people that I have called to try to get my personal information or anything. I am even thinking about using star 67 so that my # only shows private so that they dont try to call that #. Very very weird. Kind of scary.

This just tops it off. I called Metro PCS and told them the situation and she asked if i was Nancy. The same name that shows up when some of the people on that website were called. Anyway I explained the situation and she said she has never heard of that happening and reset my phone to see if that would work. Now I just have to wait for my mom to get off the phone so I can call her to see.

Funny you mention this
Today I called Lisa from Naples and when she answered she said her caller ID showed a 203 area code. I wonder what this is all about!
