I had a very strange thing happen the other day when I went to dial a 10 digit out of state number. I dialed the number on my cordless phone attached to my Obi and when I hit talk it dialed a different number entirely. A number which an online telemarketer had called me from earlier in the week.
It ended up being a direct line to this telemarketer's desk and he answered and said "Is this Frank?" I was like wth, because I know I dialed the right number. After a brief conversation I got off the phone and attempted the same action again. And again it dialed his number instead of what I keyed in.
I hung up before it rang and on the third attempt it finally dialed the correct number.
My question is how is this possible. I have searched around and don't turn up anything on this. Not that it is an error or that it is a method some new age phone Phreak uses to hijack your phone. I am leaning against it being just an error because I have had some problems with hackers/cyberstalking and just the way the occurrence went down my guess is it was a hijacking method.
Do any of you experts know if it is possible to hijack an Obi or Google Voice number? Any insight to this is much appreciated because I use my Obi for business and if I need to do something to secure up my connection or other proactive method I am all over it.
Please help!
