The last few days, I've been getting calls from all over the country saying they received a call from me. Funny thing is, when the person on the other end reads back the number that called them, it is my cell number...minus one digit. In other words, it is close but not my number.

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if this is an iOS7 bug (I've read other threads reporting strange issues similar with FaceTime and iMessages), or if somehow a number similar to mine has been jacked. This issue started happening when I installed iOS7.

Well there's only one way to find out. Roll back to iOS 6.
 
Thought about that, but I cannot fathom how iOS would send my CallerID to someone randomly. I've checked my call log for outgoings (in case of the famous butt dialing issue).

I haven't had any more issues in the past 48 hours (on iOS7). It was really strange though, I installed iOS 7 beta 3 and within a day, I'd received random calls from people all over saying I'd tried to call them.
