They are calling to see if you want to get new windows and doors for your house. You just have to wait on the phone for 5 minutes before anyone starts talking

damm, this is strange, last three days this happened to us aswell, calls late at night, the phone would ring once or twice then shut off, and it was more then enough times to **** someone off, everytime we picked up no one anwswered but i could here someone waiting on the other side just not answering, just fiddling with the phone.

i'll check the number.

ps: it has stopped now though.

morning to noon, i always get calls and then no answer.

i've heard that auto-dialers are sometimes used and it calls a group of numbers and when the first number responds, it hangs up on all the rest...

still, i don't think that is what is happening...

really strange

Yup, I got a call twice from that number.

Did you actually pick up the phone?? if so was there someone on the line?

I'm asking because when I got the call, I didn't bother to pick it up.

my friend got a call from that 123 number just recently . he asked me whut it was while it was ringing. he said "there is no area code that starts like that". So i told him just pick up and find out whut it is. might be your phone company. when he picks up it was people selling stuff. he just went and hang up on them.

i usually tell them we don't use what they're selling.

Bell recently called to get us to switch over to them. I told the women we didn't use phones. She hung up.
