I will try and put my question to the more technical and communication experts.To put it simply.I have two Daughters who were speaking to each other on their home "phones.During their conversation,daughter one had a call come through on her mobile "phone.Now when she checked the callers "phone number it showed up as her home phone number.............but as she was speaking on her home 'phone how could her mobile show up that the call came from her home 'phone.Any ideas?I feel like the Boy who called Wolf,but I really am being serious.Cheers.Ibbo.

Yeah....Ibbo........I bet she set the home phone to divert to her mobile or she has set her home phone to divert to her mobile if the home phone is busy!!

if your carrier has both phones (mobile and home) then in "some" instances they actually connect the two so to have call divert to mobile when home phone is otherwise occupied
like when it's doing the washing or vacuuming the floors or entertaining the neighbors
or if it's anything like my home phone I caught it in bed with the fax machine from next door
they simply cant be trusted, pretty tricky things those phones!

Ibbo, I'd suggest you daughter check with her service provider about the circumstances.
It might be a worry, because if she's on the home phone nothing should show the call coming from that number.
Also check her phone accounts for home and mobile phone to see if it can be tracked back somehow.
I'd be worried about it if it was me. The thought of having phone bills doubled up like this, would really worry me.
I have so much trouble trying to get Telstra to explain their accounting system to me, but they just chuck out new numbers which don't compute.
If I don't get clear and precise answers I can understand I'll be enlisting the assistance of the Telecommunication Obmudsman, again. Good luck with that query.

It was probably your alfoil helmet that was diverting signals. I knew this would happen. I don't think we can last to 2012....... Sorry Ibbo didn't see the sensible until later. Sort of sorry anyway.

Sir Terro.............
How many times do you need to be told??? The alfoil beanie will not affect the radio waves of the phone unless it is in a bucket and I'm sure Ibbo's daughter was not in a bucket at the time.
errrr...................hang on..........wait a minute ...........this is Ibbo's family isn't it???
Now I'm worried!!
"HEY IBBO!!."................."was Gabe in the bucket at the time of the call?? That could mke a difference!!"

Ibbo, would that be for protection from the cosmic rays? Won't work as well as the helmet with its reflective properties.

Panty hose is OK, I wear it all the time in the tropics to stop leeches but You do tend to get some weird looks....

Hear we are now..............like Tiger's Tarts............coming out of the woodwork.............
I used to wear pantyhose when I was riding motorbikes in the winter. Very toasty. I do admit it was UNDER the jeans. I never thought of wearing them on my head...............may have worked??
I have heard, that they are good against Leeches, Basil........must try it next time.
(God I hope she doesn't start expecting anything else when I take her pantyhose off this time)

yep not pretty, I've caught them twice now, you did know the fax machine is married to one of those chinese printers, hell of a nice bloke too, but I think he is ac and my fax is dc, sparks fly but they wont stop, intercurrent relationships rarely work
came home the other day and there was paper and ink everywhere and my fax just laying there, outlet all fuzzed up and a tiny whiff of smoke in the air
