Is it possible to drop the last digit of your phone number so that its a nine digit number ?

Question

the other day i got a phone call from a nine digit number... the area code was the same as mine..so i know it wasn't some weird foreign call... the only thing was the last digit was missing... is it possible to do that..?? and if it is how do you it??

Answer 1

No its not if you drop the last digit of the phone number it becomes a totally different number.That person probably had that sort of number because itdifferenciates that number from others if they dont have any other number types left in your area

Answer 2

No, I don't believe that is possible. Chances are your caller ID was just messed up somehow.

*I just read this on a forum: "When my husband calls me with a calling card from Iraq 999-649-888 is what shows up on my cell phone." - Could you have someone trying to call you with a calling card?
