Title: My mom calling me triggered a bug somewhere in our telecommunications system.<p>What happened:<p>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&amp;T.<p>Yesterday, my mom shows up on my caller ID. I leave my office and walk down the hall. I answer.<p>On the other end is a strange man. We are both confused. He asks if I&#x27;m so-and-so from Modesto, California. I say no, he is dumbfounded, &quot;Really?! Wow.&quot; I ask him what number he is calling, and he starts with &quot;209&quot;, but the call drops out before he finishes.<p>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 &quot;lady who sounded weird&quot;. She left a message, asking if I was in trouble, and telling me to call back.<p>I think when she hung up after leaving the short voicemail, it may have terminated the call I had with this guy.
