Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45290091 Here's the deal, I use my phone to pay my energy bill all the time. The phones number is saved in the energy companies system. And part of the verification process is entering the number in when I call. Once done it gives me my account info and then select how much I want to pay enter card info and done. Now when it's done the system always asks if I would like my payment confirmation number to be texted to my phone. I selct yes and it always repeats the number Im calling from and had entered in. So I select yes and it asks if I would like the confirmation text sent to example 4567891234 a number I was not calling from! A number I have never had let alone area code. The wild part is the area code of the number it did repeat back was from numbers I've only communicated to speak with state agencies that call me. States capitol area code. I didn't have the option to hear it again or I would have written it down. I had to select send to another number and enter mine in. So kinda odd could it have been a tower issue a routing issue? Idk never had that one happen before. Beginning to think perhaps my number is being monitored not sure what else could have done that. Anyone else have this happen or should I be going Oh shit! Thanks all. reboot your phone. |

It sucks. Please let an EMP or a Carrington event send us back to the stone age. I hate paying bills and dealing with technology like that phone and all that stupid security bullshit. Our society is soul sucking and crushing. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83861127 No electricity, no banks, well nothing at all, all luxuries that you never even thought of, will effect all. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83072512 The second you wake up till you cry yourself asleep run around screaming oh shit while pulling your hair out and gritting your teeth so hard you chip em under the gumline and blood runs Everyday Ive had many days like that, tho i have to keep the screams down to neighborly level, so i tend to softly rant and rave and cackle like a mad witch. |

But what's to stop those that are capable of taking over the number itself? It's almost as if they had the power to forward or route my number through or to them. All calls, text possibly more get patched over to them first. Then sent to the recipient. Nothing can stop certain powers from doing such. It's not a user breech as much as its allready in use. It's more of like they are the owner of the number or device that has the original number in question. |
