Called a person had never rung before nor had he ever rung me - landline to landline and he knew it was me when he answered as he said "hi J.."
How?!

1429548 2016-12-06 00:30:00 probably knew your phone number and has caller id which shows the number you are ringing from bevy121 (117)

2talk are my provider, similar to how Spark might be yours

So if you were to call me, it would show up "stuffed <09 281 4357>".
Most of the time it's pretty accurate, sometimes it's completely wrong, like when my parents ring it says they're some random florists... They're not florists :P

1429553 2016-12-06 01:21:00 Vodafone won't give out phone nos.

We had an Auckland (09)529 4300 call 19th Oct. 16 and we thought it might have been F&P about our dishwasher part. Their nos. are all 0800.

Privacy Act has a lot to answer for, pc brigade.
