777-777-7777 / 7777777777

My husband is in the Indiana Army National Guard, deployed to Afghanistan. He had called me a couple of times from this number. What happens is this: He used a DSN Phone(Defense Switched Network), he pressed the number 7 to call me, and when I answered my cell phone, the number 777-777-7777 came on my caller ID. I typically do not answer calls that are from numbers I do not know of, but, since I know my husband is deployed, I will answer any number that comes up on my caller ID. I hope this helps :)

Wear a tinfoil hat much?

Has anyone that has received one of these calls from 777 777 7777 been billed for the minutes on their cell? I have friends calling from abroad, but I don't want to pay the international rates on my cell when I receive the call.

I work for the telephone company in my area and used to work for a larger Bell company busting some of these guys. Anyway I got a guy with a thick MidEastern accesnt saying he will UPS me a Sprint Cell Phone just give him my name and address (I made up a name and address)..so he proceeded. he then wanted my SSN (thus the real plot of the call). I told him I would not give a SSN over the phone. He became agitated and went into a scripted plot of why he needed the SSN. I hung up.He called back twice later, I did not pick the phone back up.I tried calling Sprint...they obviously do not care as they placed me a vmail menu loop and the fraud dept was closed.

They called me and the man sounded like an african american man.

When I asked to be put on the do not call list his response was "do it yourself, idiot" and hung up. I got really mad

Got a call from this number, ask for me by name, it was a lady with an accent saying she is with US Government and I qualified for tax reward grant worth $3000.00 She was asking for my my info like address, SS# and bank information so the could "deposit" the grant money. From what I understand you can only get a grant when you applied for one and usually you would have to get approved, so I told her I didn't want to be scammed and hung up.

-- Our son called from Afghanistan (having newly arrived there) with this nr showing up on caller ID. I missed earlier call from him, because of refusing to answer calls with wierd caller ID's and from from known junk callers. I have to presume he was using the Yahoo service as the others have noted for service members calling from Iraq. -- Looks like you know who is calling if you might expect a call from overseas service member. Else, it could be just about anybody. -- No one there when you answer: probably can be chalked up to unreliability of Internet calling vs using regular phone service (at least with this nr).

call from them today...no words..hung up after like 15 seconds

What a ridiculous phone call. I got it once at 407 pm and upon answering I realized it was a guy claiming to be from the UK , I immediatly hung up. He decided to call back and wanted to send me money or something but I said no and asked him not to call back. Apparently this guy knew how to work a sound board or something, you could hear random sound effects in the background like a cow and kids, dishes crashing, brakes. It was weird. Anyways this guy had a middle eastern accent. Wonder if he will call again?! I told him that I had a baby and not to call anymore. I suppose he doesnt care though!
