What does Unknown mean...

Recommended Posts

It means the phone company is unable to identify the number the call is coming from... if someone were fucking with you and blocking their number caller id would say "caller id blocked"

Unknown for me is often someone calling from a business, or a telemarketer, or using a calling card. It's pretty rare, though.

If the caller's not leaving a message, then it's obviously not important enough that they need to talk to you.

Damn... I missed a telemarketer how sad... so when do we find out if MadJohn is stuck here?



Believe the decision on whether it'll be a short or long layover will be in the early evening.

Comes up as Private on my phone... so what could unknown be? Out of the country?



"Unknown" means that your ID (cell phone?) system is not receiving the number from the calling party's system. It could be someone calling you from work (some PBXs block outbound ID), or someone calling from a rural area.

"Private" usually means the caller is witholding their outbound ID from you.

Private is a blocked caller ID. I doubt it's a telemarketer. They can get seriously jammed up if they knowingly called a cell phone. Having said that, if you recently had a landline ported over to your cell, it takes a little while for it to hit the FCC's list of numbers the telemarketers should not call. My guess is; it's someone you know with a blocked ID and they figure since it was chit-chat - they'd just call you back.
Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

some calls from federal goverment locations will register as "unknown"

places like prisons and some other secret places, might be an inmate dialing a wrong number
Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.
