| 1429547 | 2016-12-06 00:25:00 | Not a big deal but just curious! 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?! |

| 1429551 | 2016-12-06 00:54:00 | 2talk do a "Reverse whitepages look-up". 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. lurking. |
