Ask HN: I received call from my own number, How is it possible? 2 points by sawantuday 10y ago ↗ HN Just received a call from my own number. How is it possible at all? Called my operator for details. they said I haven't received any call for last two hours
[–] mahadazad 10y ago ↗ Did somebody also talk to you? [–] sawantuday 10y ago ↗ Nope. no response after I answered.
[–] icedchai 10y ago ↗ I've seen this happen. With many VOIP services it is trivial to configure any number as the caller ID. It can also be done with T1 PRI, etc.
[–] tired_man 10y ago ↗ Easy as pie. You can buy PBX add-ons to let you spoof any number you care to send out. Telemarketers drool over that sort of stuff.
