Out of area...?

Question

telephone numbers?? Anyone know what this means? Thanks

Answer 1

Hi,

Out of area, is any call where the caller id has not been passed by the sending network, this is usually a mobile phone calling from a roamed network. For example an O2 phone is Spain calling back to a UK landline my show as "out of area". It can also be a fixed line from another country but this normally will show as "international".

Hope this helps?

Answer 2

I think it means an overseas call centre try not to answer and they may get bored.

Answer 3

anywhere that does NOT start with the same area code as you.

I.E if you are 0208, anything thats not 0208 is out of area.
