OT : paging the mobilisti

OK, weird .....

Just seen a missed call on my mobile (10.25am).
Its from 0016600000

Any ideas ?

I've never seen a number format like that before.

Its a Nok6310i on Orange.

 

Presented caller ID does not always equal the actual dialling number IYSWIM

The presentation number can only be manipulated by a telco though IIRC.

 

Nah. VOIP apps using ISDN can pretty much put what you like) There is no
'genuine' caller ID IYSWIM

Well, I've not played around with VOIP to any extent so can't comment.

I have but it was years ago and I can't be arsed to remember but as I
recall and I dare say things have come on a bit since I was involved,
even the most moderate of techies could do pretty much what they wanted
to do with the technology that enables it.

The basic idea is to disguise *any* data steam so that it appears like
ordinary network traffic so that it can be seamlessly carried over a
network to the other end where it is turned back into whatever it was
before it became transmitted.

Invent slick a/d converters and virtual modems, add a bit of basic but
hi-tech multiplexing and the job is a piece of piss.
