All you freaks out there can stop panicking, this is simply a pay phone number that is routed through Texas.  I know this to be true, because my sons vehicle broke down in Bradenton, Florida and this is the number that he called me from.

Started getting calls Friday on my cell phone - have received 6 so far.  A recording says it's "a courtesy call from an inmate incarcerated in a correctional facility."  Checked with cell phone carrier who said I should call the number which SHOULD connect me with the correctional facility and have my number removed from the outgoing calls list.  I tried calling the number but only got a busy signal.  Anyone else have any suggestions?

My boyfriend has called me and this number shows on the caller ID.  We both live in Houston.  I googled it and arrived here, and so I asked him what was up.  Turns out, he uses a phone card to call me when he is using a payphone. So my guess is that this number is the trunk line from the long distance phone card company, and, is based here in Texas.  (And knowing him, it is prolly the cheapest phone card available LOL).

I received 2 calls from 214-969-5489 on March 21 in the late afternoon to my cell phone.  The caller said that it was a collect call from a work collegue (that works in Orient Ohio) and does not have the right to call on the work number and charge it to the business.  I do not have a credit card; so I could not accept the call. Also, I would not give my SSN or anyone's credit codes in an incoming call.  I hope all is well with this collegue.  THe business is in a down-sizing mode.  He is a co-worker I went through training with and I am supportive of him.  Thanks for all of you that documented your experiences.  I am trying to be supportive and to contribute mine.  Beth

this is the number of the ISO
operator when someone tries to call you
collect.
