So I'm receiving these odd calls...

So recently (the past couple of months), I've been receiving calls from some odd phone numbers.  Usually they call at the same time of the day (around 9:30am-10am EST) and they're numbers I've never seen before.  Today, the first call came from {edited for privacy} and the 3 subsequent calls came from {edited for privacy} (according to the caller ID on my phone).  Past calls have been from numbers similar to this but not always the same.
Usually when I pick up, I hear some static but can hear someone talking in the background (like they butt-dialed me or something).  On the 4th call today I received, I asked "Hello? Is anyone there? Can you hear me?" and I heard a woman say "Okay" and then there was static and she hung up or we got disconnected. 
I googled and found that 707 is the area code for northern California but the 82 number doesn't make any sense to me.  All signs point to South Korea (+82 is the country code for South Korea).
Has anyone else received these phone calls or something similar?

Since both numbers have 707, I suspect the 82 is a code for something.
Which I did find this explanation."When you have a permanent block on your cell phone number you will need to dial *82 before dialing the number you are calling."  So it is a cell number in the 707 area code calling you. Basically it is a code for some cell companies to block the name of the caller but not the number.
Why not do a block on those two numbers for a short time using the blocking option via Verizon.(Do not include the 82 for the second number)
Log into you account, click on the HOME tab and choose Block and unblock numbers.

  • I am unable to get small contact photos display while receiving or making calls!!

    I am unable to make out how to get a small display of the photo on the right hand top corner of the phone while receiving or making calls. I always get a larger display which is covered by the phone options. I have tried every possible option
    1. Adding photos in windows contacts and syncing with iphone
    2. Adding photos to my contacts from photos taken from iphone
    3. Adding photos synced from my PC
    None of these options work, can anyone help me to get smaller display of photos while making and receiving calls

    Photos added to your contacts on your computer will appear as thumbnails. Those added directly on your phone will appear full size. So, edit the contacts on your phone & delete the photos that were added directly on your phone.

  • Someone else receives my facetime calls

    Hi,
    Since last saturday (3rd May 2014), I see that somelse is making and receiving my facetime calls. The first time, I saw on the phone of my girl friend that she was receiving a Facetime call from my account AppleID. This call was not coming my own phone. Both these phones (the one of my girl friend and mine) were one next to the other when we received this call.
    Than we did some tests. When she called me on Facetime, sometime another person has responded (seems to be a little boy).
    It seems both our phone received the call (mine and the one of the little boy) and the first who respond take the call, the other don't.
    I don't know if my text on iMessage are concerned. No proof of that for the moment, but I have dought.
    This little seems to be French, like me. And so I have a theory but I'm not sure of that. I think this little boy has got my previous phone number. Even if this is the cause, I don't know how to resolve it.
    Please, could someone help me to recovery the property and the use of my Apple ID on Facetime ?
    Thanks.
    Teihotum

    It is happening the same to me. I've been receiving FaceTime calls from my gf account for a few weeks, but it's not her. A guy with a mask is making the calls, but I am not sure he is american, since I am not able to understand what he says.
    At the beginning I thought it was a FaceTime bug because I started receiving calls while I was already talking on FaceTime with my gf, so I didn't care at all and obviously I didn't answer. But last Friday the iPhone rang again and I answered and saw this guy.
    We've been to the Apple store and we've called the customer care maybe 10 times and no one is surprised at all. Is it so common and normal that someone uses your Apple ID to call your relatives and/or your partners??
    They just answered that you have to change simply your password, but this doesn't solve anything. In fact, the guy called again a few hours ago and the Apple senior manager decided to transfer our call to the network operator.
    I'm totally disappointed with the answers from Apple, since the operators aren't able to avoid future calls from the guy and to dissociate his devices from my gf's icloud account!
    I would be very grateful if someone could help me to manage this weird situation.
    Thank you very much!

  • Just Updated iPhone 3GS to iOS5, Can't receive any incoming calls at all

    Hi, I just updated my phone to iOS5 and now, I'm having these troubles.
    - Can't receive any incoming calls at all
    - The incoming calls directly goes to voice mail greeting
    - No incoming rings & no missed calls alerts
    - Also noticed the incoming text with 4 to 5 hours delays
    - Sometimes 3G network get lost
    The reception (status bar) is good level, can make outgoing calls okay and can send text okay.
    I did try reset the network setting and it seems working a few hours then went back to troubles (mentioned above).
    I've done 3 or 4 times reset but none have been resolved yet.
    Anyone having a same issues?
    I have
    iPhone 3GS with iOS5
    Network with O2 UK
    Thanks,

    After reset "All network settings" a several times, it seems working but few hours later it 's been gone back to troubles again.
    Is this related to iOS5 or O2?
    I've contacted the network carrier several times but no-one yet get back to me.
    Any ideas, please helps.

  • My iPad is receiving the phone calls that the iPhone under the same iCloud account is receiving, how do I stop/prevent this?

    I have an older iPad that we use at my office for Pandora. My iPhone is connected to the same iCloud account as my iPhone is & once in a while my iPad will receive a phone call, not a FaceTime call, from one of my contacts that's trying to call me. It will say the contact's name up at the top like usual, it plays my iPhone ringtone, says "Slide to Answer" but also beneath that it says "from my iPhone." I still receive the phone call on my iPhone but I also receive it on my iPad & I'd obviously like it to stop. Can anybody help me out?

  • Genius bar of little help...iphone: "cannot receive or make calls..."

    went to the genius bar today because my iphone is apparently dead, and at&t won't touch it in terms of service.
    get there and the guy says i have to make an appointment for tomorrow. and asks me for a number where i can be reached. again explain that the number at which i can be reached "cannot receive or make calls..."
    anyone know how i can get this fixed now? and not have to pay for cell service that i can't even use?

    Apple handles all iPhone repairs or exchanges under warranty. You can call AppleCare at (800) 694-7466 to handle everything over the phone, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
    If you can't make a call with your iPhone, it isn't a good idea to call technical support from the iPhone you are having a problem with anyway, and the same with a technical support problem with any cell phone since troubleshooting steps may involve doing something with the device that prevents being able to remain on the phone.
    I don't have a landline at home so when I've needed to call technical support for any cell phone I've used in the past, I make the call from work, or from the landline of a family member, friend, neighbor, or pay phone.
    Are you able to access the internet via the cellular network and receive or send SMS?
    If so, this may be due to a problem with your SIM card. If there is an AT&T corporate store nearby, you can tell the store about the problem and request a new SIM card to see if this resolves it. The AT&T store can activate your iPhone with the new SIM card.

  • JDBC receiver adapter to call MS SQLServer stored procedure with parameters

    We are trying to use the JDBC receiver adapter to call a stored procedure in MS SQLServer with parameters.  According to the help documentation for the JDBC receiver adapter for action=EXECUTE,  "The elements within the stored procedure are interpreted as parameters" and "The parameter names must be identical to those of the stored procedure definition".  The parameters within a MS SQLServer stored procedure are required to begin with the '@' symbol.  The element names within a XML document i.e. used to call the stored procedure can not contain a special character such as '@' in the first position.  For all of the tests we have done where the parameter name in the XML document omits the '@' character, the parameters are not being received by the stored procedure.  Is there a way around this  problem?
    Thank you,
    Harold

    Hello Harold - I am facing the EXACTLY SAME problem.Pls let me know how did you fix this problem ?
    This is the message I am passing on to the DB SP:

    Out of which,

  • Unable to send or receive texts and calls

    For nearly two weeks I've been unable to send or receive texts and calls I have tried resetting my phone deleting existing call / text convos and taking the sim out of my phone 4g internet still works but nothing else I'm using an iPhone 6. Why can't I send or receive anything?

    Hi ,
    Very sorry this is happening,
    Have you tried the SIM in a different phone?
    Also have you tried a network reset?
    Note: Resetting the network settings will clear all WiFi passwords and refresh device network connections.
    From the home screen, tap Settings.
    Scroll down to, then tap General.
    Scroll down to, then tap Reset.
    Tap Reset Network Settings.
    Tap Reset Network Settings to confirm.
    Note: If a security code is enabled, this will need to be entered between steps 4 and 5.
    Thanks.
