I live in a different area code, yet it says 'Local Calling Area' on the Caller ID. Tried number lookup, but I wasn't paying $36 to find out who it was (they can't give us a freebie on the name, at least?).

got this call says local calling area but it's from 100 miles away

says "local call area"  and the guy was saying " im calling from a fire department and we need you to check your fire alarm battery" and that he would be sending me something......? I kindly ended the call.  Not really.....I  just hung up....
