Not computing but a telecoms person may know.

Not computing but a telecoms person may know. I get several calls from Aussie but on my Caller ID they show up as an 09 number. Why is this??

What are the next 3 numbers ? Could be someone using a service like VFX from xnet or italk from slingshot or another VoIP provider. It basically means they have a local Auckland number but they can call from any country in the world. (as long as they have their VoIP set up over there.

Calling cards also

Could also be skype I have an Auckland SkypeIn number, so all calls I make to landlines from Skype (including while I'm in Brisbane) have a caller ID of 09 889 xxxx.

09 929 1490 is the number that show up on my Caller ID. Definitely not Skype but possible somebody using some sort of transfer arangement.

Tigra. It has to be some sort of VOIP system or calling card (probably VOIP as well). Why is it of such a concern?
geek_guyhMarch 18, 2008, 3:21 pm#8
I would say.. It is a calling card such as Kiwi Card or Easycall or E-Phone. All of those cards show up as 09 929 XXXX

Ours comes up 0000 if it is a call from aussie how ever when a person use to ring us from Ohakune the number would come up 04 ###### Kune is 06 so don't know what happened there, and it use to happen everytime they rang us.
