Nope. I don’t have a trashy phone carrier.

Never had that problem. I just keep my phone on silent.

His girlfriend is in middle school? Do the authorities know that?

I haven't had that, but some other crazy shite with people calling my phone. Lets see if any of you baws had this happen and know what to do.
First I started to get miss calls, usually from telemarketers from crazy area code numbers. I would sometimes answer them, but not actually speak until they say something. A lot of the time, they won't start speaking until you say hello or something first.
Well eventually those numbers stopped coming from out of state area codes and started to appear as local calls. Again, sometimes I'll answer the phone but not speak. Same thing would happen from the out of state numbers.
Now here is the crazy part. Now I've been getting these local calls which I don't answer. Then the other day, the same number called me back (usually I don't get repeat calls from a number that they have already used) and left a voice mail. I checked it and they said that they saw my missed call and were calling me back to see what was up. The funny part is, I never called that number before in my life.
Another thing to add, after I got one of these local missed calls, I decided to call them back. When I did, some old arse lady answered the phone and I said I got a miss call from her. She said she hasn't called me and didn't know what was up, which I really did believe her.
So now my theory is that these telemarketers are starting to use local numbers to call other locals in that area, or at least showing that number instead of their real phone number. But the real question, is who is giving away all of our phone numbers to these people to use to hide their real phone number? I wonder if there are some hidden agreement with these new phones or phone plan carriers, that allows other companies to use our phone numbers like this legally? It seems obvious these calls are coming from some algorithm and executed by some machine to call these numbers round the clock. I doubt some people sitting in a cave in the middle east is behind this shite.

Nobody.
They can make up any number they want, so some happen to be a real phone number and some are gibberish.
I'm pretty sure it's very, very illegal but they don't care. I wish someone would come up with a technological solution - something that blocks them from using a fake number.

I have three missed calls frill Beijing last night. No texts.

Exactly the same shite has happened to me

Bought a tuft and needle and plan on returning it. Its a little too stiff even with the mattress cover. I'm probably the outlier considering the reviews.
