Just a few minutes ago received a call on my cell phone from this number. Like one of the other comments, there was a few seconds of "on-hold" music (which covered my "hello" when I answered), then a click and the ambient noise of a call center. I listened for about 30 seconds, saying nothing, and only heard a younger male (20-25) with a midwestern accent say "Michael from (unintelligible)", then a second black female with a ghetto-sounding accent laughed and said "not much more o' dis sh*t". I was then apparently automatically disconnected. Immediately returned the call to receive the phone company notification that the number was not in service. Area code 406 is supposedly in Montana. Wikipedia has this to say: "On December 10, 2008, Google's Gmail Blog announced that SMS messages could be sent from inside Gmail. The messages are sent from numbers in the 406 area code. Each number is unique and can be bookmarked in your phone for replies or future use. Google also employs the use of area code 406 for the assignment of reply-to or callback numbers for Google Voice's customers' contacts." Obviously, the criminal infrastructure of the FCC allows for this type of call center to mask its identity using spurious or easily-hidden area codes.
