We've been seeing these as well. About one call a day. Sometimes as many has 3 or 4.

I will ask our receptionist to allow the call to continue for a minute or so and see if it hangs up at the 60 second mark. Timing our own IVR. It takes exactly 60 seconds, If you press nothing to get all the way 1 second in to voicemail. As these calls always appear leaving 1 second voicemails.

Hello Everyone,

We've been seeing a lot of strange inbound calls to our toll free numbers recently. The only thing they have in common is the caller ID text is always a city and a state. And the the call duration is 60 seconds on the dot..Every time.

Are the calls answered by a human? If so, what do they hear? If not and it's an IVR, if you call and say nothing does the call drop in 60 seconds? City and state are not uncommon for CNAM. Many CNAM providers will put the city and state of the rate center for the NPA-NXX if caller name isn't available. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay at impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops
