I just got a phone call

[coorr]

The number wasnt in my address book and the caller hung up as soon as I answered.

I rechecked the caller ID to see if it looked familiar and this is the number that was listed:

(496) 419-846193

Yes, I know that too long to be a phone number. No, I don't have the slightest clue what is going on. I'm tempted to call the number just to see what

Isn't +49 a country code?
Germany?

[lightcastle]

yup.
Germany.

[coorr]

yea... I was trying to figure that out but doing standard google searches doesn't seem to work well with country codes and I'm not paying for one of those "find any number" services.

Maybe I will call it back... but international calls usually start with a 1 before the international code don't they? My cell wont call international anyway but I expect it would just truncate the last 2 numbers and 496 isnt a valid area code as far as I can tell.

Weird.

I'm not sure why it would truncate it the way it did. It is 011 for international dialling, btw.

[bitty]

It wouldn't necessarily show the 011 first; if I were to call you from, say, Atlanta, the 1- wouldn't show up on your caller ID, just the regular 10 digits. When I got text messages from a British mobile, it didn't include the 011.

Mrmph. Too tired to think clearly yet.
