I have gotten two calls from 500-500-5000 in a week and they the same thing as others listed

I did not answer the call when I saw the strange number and that caller was unidentified

A 500 number is yet another tool for telemarketers to harass us.The premise behind 500 service is simple. Similar to 800 and 900 services, you can either accept a randomly chosen number or opt for a "vanity" 500 number. Some customers choose vanity numbers that uniquely identify them or their businesses, while others choose a number that is simple to remember or dial.Once you select your number, it becomes yours for the life of your business or as long as you want. Unlike standard telephone numbers, your 500 number is not associated with a particular telephone or location. As you change locations or move between them, you can program your 500 service to search for you through a sequence of up to three telephone numbers.There are 13 companies that offer 500 numbers:* American Mobile Satellite Corp.* American Personal Communications (APC)* AT & T* Bell Atlantic Mobile (BAM)* BellSouth Mobile System* GTE Mobile Communications* GTE Telephone Operations* McCaw Cellular Communications* MCI Telecommunications* Pacific Bell* PacTel Cellular* Sprint* U S West New Vector GroupI have yet to identify a method of reverse lookup for these numbers.

Got one today, lots of static and digital garble followed by someone speaking spanish. Said 'buenas diaz' a lot. I just said wrong number and hung up. . .Curious about the purpose of these calls... seems really fishy...The CID description for the number was "Tollfree Number"

Got one today, someone speaking spanish, I said wrong# and hang up, 2 hour later I saw my phone log, after I answer this call 1 min later, my phone had dail a 4 digit number, I'm so scare bec that is my SSN# and I didn't dail it!!

I got a call from the number 500-500-5000. A man's voice speaking Spanish & I understand enough to have identified 'someone' trying to explain 'something' about telephone service. The caller ID tag was SACService, which I think just identifies it as a recently added "service access code" number. When I asked what they were selling and who they wanted to talk to, the call was terminated. Sounds like a whole new way to be annoyed in our homes!

Yeah, the 500-500-5000 amigos keep on bugging me also. It would not be so bad if they would stick around long enough to explain to them that I am not interested and to please stop calling, but the [***] just hang up and call back a few days days later. If anybody knows how to put an end to this sh*t, I am all ears.
