Can anyone explain this to me? My ph just rang. The caller ID had my own # on it. That's not possible because if I were to call myself, the ph would be busy.
Sometimes the ph company runs a signal through the system to make sure everything is working, but that doesn't leave any # on the Caller ID and it only rings once. This rang 3X and when I picked it up, there was silence.
I checked outside the house to make sure the lines weren't fiddled with (we have a 2nd ph line that is nearly identical, save one digit) but the box was fine.
Should I be thinking about that old play, where the woman is an invalid in bed, and she's home alone and her phone rings, and it's a murderer who has been stalking her, and the last line of the play is just a scream ... ?
on the other hand, a friend told me that you can program your ph for a wake-up call, which may have your own # on it. I have no idea how to do it, nor why it would be programmed for 1:45 in the afternoon.
