I was just curious if any of the other ladies have had any weird calls from this number 604-602-9478. When I called the number back a recorded message stats that it is not in service
This number keeps calling me?

No it's not telemarketing this guy is a werido. Thanks for all your help
Ashley,
there are numbers that may appear on your caller ID that are not actually the number from which the person is calling from. Phone companies route lines various ways, I get some people calling me from Asia, or Europe with a Local Vancouver number, (and I am not in BC) One of those things, so it is possible to find lots of different people using the same number....
With google you will find lots of references...

Ashley, I believe you can block the number by using (I think) *62. Punch in the numbers after you answer and then hang up. Check with Telus for the right code. You are able to block up to 10 numbers this way. I used to use it for the telemarketers before the registry . . .
All numbers (even voip) are capable of being traced as a result of our 911 legislation. This includes the US.
Voip service providers have an ability to track and locate an IP address even if it is a laptop in an internet cafe someplace.
911 laws state that any 911 call can be located by police, fire dept, or medical emergency response.
Whether or not the Voip provider actually provides this service real time or not is debatable, technically they are required to comply but they may not have the response capability. In an investigation, the voip provider can and will provide all call transaction details which of course are logged in their billing system whether they have a fixed fee per month or a per call system.
Bottom line is that one of those calls can be tracked but you would need a reason to require the Voip provider to give out that information such as a formal complaint.
Hope this helps.......

My friend has an app. on his iPhone that allows him to fake any number when he calls someone. It could be one of those deals too!
It is *60 for Telus, and if you have a cel phone, just check with the provider. They should have a similar function either already available to use, or for a fee.
If you can't access the call block feature, then I think some people with cel phones enter the number in their phone and put in a name so they remember like "don't answer", or "rude caller" or something. Call blocking is the best because they won't even reach your personal voice mail box, just sent to a generic message.
I agree with you FortunateOne I always put a simple "NO" for the name of the unwanted caller, but call blocking this awesome no more unwanted calls!
Does this also mean that if I block the number it would also block them from text messaging???!!!

602 is a bounce back cell site or a calling card number.. I've actually seen that above number somewhere else.
