    Hi, I'm a T-Mobile customer with a family plan w/5 lines. Recently was reviewing one of the lines a family member has and came across this phone number:
    5/04/06 INCOMING 7:00 PM 012-345-6789 5
    5/04/06 INCOMING 4:47 PM 012-345-6789 1
    5/04/06 INCOMING 3:47 PM 012-345-6789 1

    Before I call T-Mobile and inquire about these calls because the phone number doesn't exist.
    My question is it possible to do something to a phone to has a number like that come up on the caller ID.

    Thanks for your help. Greg

    Family members in Europe who are using Skype to call the U.S. come up as 0000123456 on my cell and home phone. It may have been a service like this calling your cellphone.

    I've seen 000-000-0000 show up on my caller ID at home. But it the last call, isn't the "5" at the end the length of the call? I think someone talked to the person at the end of the line at that time....so it might help to ask the user of that line.

    That could be any number of things -- a blocked number, a "private call", an international number, a VOIP number. I'd start with whoever's phone that is before calling T-Mobile and making a scene.

    i've had this happen to me, too.
    i've never answered the phone when it rang .. the first time it happened (about a week ago) i got a text message from "129" saying:
    Please call "0000123456"
    i called and it said that the number didnt exist .. obviously.

    maybe i should just call t-mobile ?

    0000123456 is Skype VOIP. Of course you can't call that back because that number is just a generic number that shows up on your CID when a Skype person calls you.

    Thanks to everyone that replied. I asked the person that uses that phone but of course she didn't know who called her. I don't think she ever looks at the caller ID. It doesn't matter to her anyway because good old dad (me) pays the phone bill. Thanks again Greg
