Dont necessarily believe your caller ID

[Doug H]

this is a joke ? right ? what was the punchline ?

No nomad...no joke at all when you got someone calling you cussing you out telling you that you keep calling their number and you dont know what the hell their talking about. How is that a joke.

Got this same crap over and over, I have went through 6 different phone numbers and a lawyer also that's why Vonage disappeared(they were facing lawsuits cause of stolen numbers) also with face book theres no control over what happens

I was thinking something similar koala. I've never sued anyone and dont plan on ever doing it...but when I get service with a company that I pay for, using a phone that i own, doesn't that number become partly my property? Just like stealing cable is illegal...isn't somebody liable for my number being hijacked? Verizon acted like it was no big deal...just change your number. But if you have accounts with two step verification it's a pain to have to go back and change all that stuff around.

Caller ID (caller identification, CID), also called calling line identification (CLID), Calling Line Identification (CLI), calling number delivery (CND), calling number identification (CNID), calling line identification presentation (CLIP), or call display, is a telephone service, available in analog and digital telephone systems, including VoIP, that transmits a caller's telephone number to the called party's telephone equipment when the call is being set up.
