The last two days, I've been getting a phone call from the number 493-15. I haven't picked up because it seems odd to me, and I've noticed there was no option to deny the call either. What does this mean? There's no way to look it up either.
Got a tip for us?

It means you're being called from a place that has a PBX or other ISDN-like implementation. They can put in whatever number they like into the caller ID field (even fake or nonexistent ones), and that's what you'll see in Caller ID.
Skype used to do this, not sure if they fixed it fully though.

I hid my kids and I hid my wife.
That's annoying though. Wish there was a way to be taken off this list.
