My mom calling me triggered a bug somewhere in our telecommunications system.
What happened:
First off: I live in SF, work on the peninsula, and have a Utah (801) area code. My mom lives in New Mexico. She has Verizon, I have AT&T.
Yesterday, my mom shows up on my caller ID. I leave my office and walk down the hall. I answer.
On the other end is a strange man. We are both confused. He asks if I'm so-and-so from Modesto, California. I say no, he is dumbfounded, "Really?! Wow." I ask him what number he is calling, and he starts with "209", but the call drops out before he finishes.
I call my mom back. She picks up. I ask her if she just called me, and she says yes, she left a voicemail, but she was confused because she got a voicemail from some "lady who sounded weird". She left a message, asking if I was in trouble, and telling me to call back.
I think when she hung up after leaving the short voicemail, it may have terminated the call I had with this guy.
