Has this ever happened to anyone else?

About a month ago I tried calling my parents from my mobile phone and ended up reaching the voicemail of a rather posh lady which definitely wasn't my mum. I'd selected the number from my address book so no chance of mis-dialling. I just tried calling her today and 3 times in a row I reached the same lady's voicemail. The first 2 times I selected my parents from my address book and the 3rd manually typed the number myself. Weird!

Has anyone heard of this type of thing happening?
 
I've never heard of anything like that happening before.
Are you sure the posh woman isn't the default O2/Orange/Vodaphone answer phone (or the sales assistant who sold her the phone)? :lol::lol:

I actually set up their answer machine and recorded the message myself and have since heard it when calling so certainly not just the default voice.

Also, not sure if it's connected, but at new year I replied to a message I'd received wishing them a happy new year and it was delivered to an entirely different number. At the time I just put it down to the weight of traffic at midnight causing some type of conflict or data collision but now wonder if it's linked.
 
Ooh, that happened to me once. Tried to ring a friend and got BBC radio Derby (the call centre). Twice. It was definitely the right number, too.
 
Had a similar problem with my parents' BT line a while back, any calls made to their number were going to another, local, number and when the owner of that number made a call it showed up as originating from my parents' phone.

It transpired to be a short at the local exchange, BT offered them something like £1 in compensation for the inconvenience....
