865-6696 number?!

So, within the past month I've had this number call twice. No area code of course.

I've read that its for unknown numbers.. Thing is, both people that called from it, I knew.

And they didnt block their number from showing up on my phone (I am with sprint)

The first time I though it was just something messed up with the service at the time.

But this time it happened today where I had perfect service and my boyfriend was calling me back

after he got out of the gas station, so I was expecting his call just not from that number.

So I'm starting to wonder if that could be a way for sprint or apple to tap into phone conversations.

Like i said both people it came up for had no reason to block their number (One being my best friend, other my boyfriend)

iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3

It is more likely to be a switching/computer issue with the carrier. Apple would not be taping into iPhones, they have too many of them on the market and no reason to break the law. A phone carrier isn't going to do that as it is breaking the law without a court order to do so.


Just put it up to a computer glitch at the cell carrier, or misreading the cell coming in from the originating caller and this is how the computer resolved it before sending it on.
