I got a call from 865-6696 on my work I-Phone. I answered with the company name, then my name. I had to do this 3 times as I could hear noise in the background. Finally, a woman said "please don't hurt me" four times back to back. I replied "Do you require medical assistance?" Who ever it was hung up. Got online and started researching the number. Lots of odd replies on different sites. She had an oriental accent. Some sites say the call loaded a Trojan virus onto my phone. Hope not. Very strange.

i believe this is a ghost number, designed to burn mins on your phone for the phone companies to make an extra penny on your bill, they don't need to call you a billion times but call a billion people one time and have a log of it and charge lets say a penny, well what is a billion pennies over a few million peeps. I notice that there are a bunch of numbers out there on blogs just like this that have no area code, in fact they seem to have what every area code for just the number they are calling or some call center out of the country you can't call back, guess what the call back cost money to. JUST A THOUGHT. I would call your phone service provider and see if you can't get that call off your billing and or black such numbers.

I got the same thing on the third from that number but txt said no message found...

Same here

I received a text from and 'unknown' number saying Message not found. I text back ??? and it came back saying 8566696 was an invalid number.  I got a call from the Unknown number about an hour before this. Who is this?

got a text from this number. just deleted it. may block it if it keeps happening.  People are weird and even weirder with technology-particularly when they feel they are anonymous and can act REALLY weird.

I have literally gotten 7 texts with in the last 5 hours showing up as unknown! Any way to stop it?

"Unknown" call from 865-6696. No area code.

I just received a text from "unknown" my phone would not let me see the message. It simply said "Message not found" I sent back "?" And got "8656696 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code."

This just started happening to me too. It started this morning and has been going on all day.

Don't put it in you phone or nothing thay can track you like that

I got a call from the same number I think is my ex s boy friend calling ther in de ritterla and hornbeck both have an acseint he's from up north so hemay be checking up on her if I was him I would

865-6696 no area code.  Constantly calling every hour for 2 days. No one on other end and no message left when I don't pick up.

I have AT&T iphone4 and I get it in form of a test that id'd as unknown says message not found.tried texting it back and got a invalid number code of 8656596.. Is a little creepy

I just got an IPHONE 4s but I'm an AT&T customer. I'm continually getting texts from unknown Tht says this is a blocked number as the text so I responded hello last several times and each time I get a text back from AT&T 4 digit number Tht shows the 865 number saying I need a 1 plus area call to text them back. Only a few calls but probably 15-20 texts DAILY!!!!!

I have AT&T. Does it sill affect us?

This is the second time, i believe, I've had this same thing happen to me. But it hasn't happened for a while.

I had the same thing happen. I got a text from 'unknown' and the message read 'message not found'. So I decided to reply 'go away' and got one of those 'invalid number' texts back with the 865 number in it. Tried to slydial the number to see if I could see who it was and it said it was an invalid number too.

Ha! I got fooled so ignore the previous post! My wife came home from work & says I tried to call twice & I asked her was the number kind of strange and I cant call it back? She says yes!  So Sorry for posting the above :)

I got a call & my ID said Manitoba and the number showed up as 204-0086500 then a call from 520-408-6500 Both when I called back said the number had been disconnected. WTF?  

Calls me at least twice a day. I never answer and thy don't leave messages. I have an android though.

Hey i live in Pakistan and i find it otherwise from what other have been telling so far. Every time i receive a message from anyone the message becomes blank and sender converts into this annoying number even i myself tried to send a message from another none-iphone cell and it is stored as blank and the sender becomes 865-6696. In my opinion it's a bug in iOS.

Got an unknown call and it was from the St. Lucie County Jail (inmate), it went to voicemail and left a recorded msg about the inmate was trying to make a collect call, but my carrier doesn't handle collect calls, and if I wanted to decline press # such and such.......  But it had NO area code either, I looked up St. Lucie jail and found the area code for them is 772.  These calls are scary because they can run up your phone bill by you just answering it.

I got that call today he said he is a tellamearker
And will send someone to my home and told him hell no
Then he got pissed said he will f my wife my lilgirl call me
a a***ole ex i won't his a** bad
