It came with the new SIM card.

A new SIM card does not mean its a new phone number. The carrier can assign any number in their range to any SIM card they supply. The link between SIM card and phone number is made during SIM registration, not during SIM manufacture. You can have the phone number changed without changing the SIM.

Yep that'd explain it. I have a Virgin Moible Data only sim card, and about once a week I receive a call from a (03) number on it, never answered them.

Ah. That sucks then. Maybe I will answer it so they don't call back. Nicely.

My Android phone has a function in the phone book where you can put a number on a blacklist. They can keep on calling and calling you, but you'll never see it and they will never get an answer to their spam calls. Perhaps this will solve the problem?

Had to laugh and there's no political thread in which to post:

I had my power steering pump changed 2 months ago. Could have done it myself but decided the extra ~200 dollars was worth considering they gave a guarantee and they took AMEX without any surcharge!

What dipstick designed Terminal 1 at CDG. Talk about going in circles and up tubes and down.

The designers obviously went to the Monty Python school

Reminds me of a school trip ORD-CDG-BLQ

Our teacher had no clue about getting around airports so I had to take the lead and get the group to our connecting flight.

I think that's an insult to Monty Python.

I thought they were clearly talking about sticking your hands out the window :shock:, apparently not:

@willydolan We're sorry you're disappointed with your broken handle. We expect our staff to take good care of your bag.

My first impression was that he'd hurt himself from a protruding part of an airline seat/plane, so was waaay off target.
