Default 5 digit cphone crap.....
What in hell is the meaning of this long list accumulation of 5 digit numbers as suppposedly people/machines that called and of course it never rang or whatever, but there it appears on a list of some TWENTY calls this AM in the last ~2 hours.......

happens all the time, much less overnight because first thing at say 6 am there is slim to nothing on the phone, but I look now at 1030 and there they ARE.....

and why/how the phony 5 digit numbers, call the damn things and nothing happens......

it's been going on for many years now, and if anything the amount of calls has increased recently..... WTF???

That's typically for texts Gene. It's "SMS". Did you finally get a phone with text?

Only thing I know of with/as text is to try getting back and maybe get some text message with a link involved, and it's always crap.....but HOW in hell can anyone make a call with just 5 numbers as a return # ???

Why would he? He's finally got those rabbit ears with the wads of tin foil on each tip perfectly positioned. No need to mess with success.

Serious advice: Hand your cell phone to one of your grandkids and have them explain it to you.

Oh, sure, that's probably easy for them, but I bet they can't set the clock on Gene's VCR.
