717683 2008-11-05 18:02:00 I had a pay-as-you-go cellphone a few years ago . (Trac-Fon)

I got tired of it and let it lapse into non-use by not buying more air time .

Yesterday my wife got a call on HER cellphone, ID-ing as MY cellphone was calling her .

This is just strange: She answered it and a woman was speaking Japanese to her and didn't seem to know Engrish at all .

I'm not worried about the Japanese woman calling, but how in the world can a person who is NOT me, using a phone now that somehow has my old number — call my wife's cellphone and it gets ID'd as ME?

How did the Japanese lady get my wife's number?

:confused:

I can understand that my old number got returned to the number pool and got re-assigned, but the coincidence of calling my wife is just too hard to understand .

Ah Joe, you are so well known all over the globe that I think every wimmin on this planet knows your number. They're just too polite to call.

Maybe they recycled your contact list as well...

Yeah . . . I thought of that too .

Does the fact that the Trac-Fon has a SIM card make it different?
