Strange phone numbers showing up on my TV

When I watch TV, strange phone numbers showing up on it and then vanish.  The phone never rings.  I think it is picking up other neighbours phone calls.

I got a call the other day saying my last name and that I called them.  My phone number is suppose to be unlisted.

I never called this person so not sure about that.

For over 3 years now this has been happening since I moved in, I want it stopped or I'm changing providers.

I have been with telus for over 25 years and it's getting worse.  Especially trying to talk to someone or get something fixed.  Its like pulling hens teeth.  You can't get help period.

 

  • Contacted them and they said my number was spooked and the numbers coming in were the people calling the number but it dies not ring at my home but gets directed to the other number.  I question that, however, I had my phone number changed.  We will see.  Thanks

    Have you contacted tech support in the last 3 years? If they're for a neighbour's account, that's usually an easy fix.

      I will be on Monday when they open.  I never knew it was a glitch until someone called me.  Thanks.
