This appears to be a semi-local number used by ARS Nation Collections in order to make the phone ID appear to be accepting a "local" number.
Basically, it's yet another form of "lying" by [***] collection agencies to get around the letter of FTC law. this number is a "piggy-back" provided by "Smart City" Communications [should be called "Village Idiot" Communications.
I got some 13 year old sounding woman on the answering machine calling herself "Heidi" [yeah, uh huh...] who "had important information on file that she needed help with" and that she "was simply looking for information regarding the file that has come across her desk"... She then gave the ubiquitous 1800 number [incidentally- linked to ARS through this and other invaluable sites!] and a bogus reference number [people, think- it's used only to get you to call- she'll ask for a name, number, address and tele- and since YOU called, you'll feel obligated to do so... One four letter word for that... TRAP!] don't bother calling back.
People- aka "Collections Pukes- you need to get better/newer dunning books/notes- I can read through you saps like onion skin over a newspaper.
