| somebody made a 9 minutes long distance phone call to italy from our place
the weird part is that it was made under and international long distance plan that saved us $12.43... a plan we never signed up for
tried about ever telephone number search engine i was able to lookup
the number is
39 3404168154
anybody can help me figure out who or what number that is and has this happened to anybody else? |

| Or the one that still don't have the service in their City. DIal-up is cheap, and very useful, when you don't always need Internet. |

| That pretty suck, many shitty software do this... Many porn site dial over highspeed internet. And bill on your phone line. |

| Many kinds of phreaking are obsolete. I'd be surprised if it was a dialer also, since dialer programs typically don't call countries like Italy. Usually, they connect you to long distance numbers in places like the Carribeans where they have an agreement with the local long distance company and they get a cut of the exorbitant rates charged.
Either way, simply call your phone company. They'll likely credit the charges as a courtesy and then block all calls overseas (or at least to Italy) for you. |
