planned power outage tomorrow

SCE with power outtage notice.

you people above.....yeah you.  It is not a prank call. We already got the postcard STATING there would be a power upgrade to the grid in our area and for those of us with back up supply to warn them so they don't get the shock of their life.  It is legit.  It is a courtesy call but I still wont answer phone thanks to all the stupid telemarketers.  

Listen up stupid SCE...I don't answer the phone.  Learn to leave a detailed message so that you can show you are being a responsible company in shutting our electricity off...power grid upgrade my foot...I don't believe it for a second.  

We did get a post card the other day. If they want us to pick up the caller ID should say "Edison" not "unavailable".
It's too bad there are so many telemarketer calls. I just don't pick up unless I recognize the caller ID. They could have left a computerized message!

No April fool!

888-759-6056 called

When I picked up the call,
the voice was chattering away in Spanish.
I don't speak or understand Spanish.

Ha ha, southern California.  I'm in souther Canada. Just another number for the block list.

CAREFUL! It's not SCE!!! It's a scam trying to get ID info from you! Seriously, I couldn't imagine the power company calling me on the phone for a scheduled power outage.

No message. ID shows TOLL FREE CALLER.
Here's the catch: I don't live in an area of SCE service. Four hang-ups within 3.5 hours.

This is so annoying.I got called 3 times in 1 minute.
During a recent outage, I had signed up for a notification when the power came back on.
It's good to know it's Edison, but with no message and no caller ID, I'm not about to answer. Annoying.

Just re-confirming that this 888 number is Southern CA Edison (electrical utility provider) per their "Planned Power Outage Notification" postcard that was mailed to my residence last week.   The SCE dialer apparently will not leave a message until it hears a voice answering.  It called me at least 4 times today for our scheduled outage tomorrow.

Time for a new hat, maybe something stronger than tinfoil.
Got a call from this number from SCE to remind me of scheduled power outage. They had to replace the pole on the corner that was cracked, so yes there is sometimes reason idiot.

I'm in Boston.  Why would Southern Cal Edison be calling me?

They have called twice today but they do not respond after saying "hello" several times. After looking at some of these post, I am sure it is Edison; My neighborhood is schedule for a power outage for maintainance.

It's warning of a local service outage, like when they are digging up the street or repairing a switch.  IThat's important for those folks on a respirator or such.

Yea there is Dumb A**. Its called updating equiment. Technology evolves! Maybe in your world u still live under a rock! Get a clue!!

It is Southern California Edison, as reported above.  There is a scheduled power outage this weekend for my neighborhood and I suspect it is a courtesy call reminding residents.  BUT what I don't understand is why they block their real caller I.D. and why they don't leave a message.  ANNOYING!

If you call 888-759-6056 have your 6-digit number on SCE post card handy to learn the date and time of outage in your area.

I just recceived a call from this number, and sent it to voice mail since I didn't recognized the number.  I then received a voice mail, in a computer generated voice.  It reminded me of a planned outage tomorrow from 8 am until 6pm, in order to update their system.  It was a follow up to a postcard I received last week.

Got a message stating a power outage will be done in my area tomorrow. No advance notice at all.
Called and woman from edison stated above info was true.

May have been SCE. But will not answer calls when not identified.

maybe if you actually pay attention you would know that there are many  other duplicate ways in which they let people know of their controlled power outage, they leave notes/flyers in all mailboxes (I already got two), they call and they email you too, but for that they have to have your email stored and have your permission to use it for future announcements. I got phone calls, fliers in the maibox and email messages letting us know about the coming power outage. I am European (French and lived for a long time in England), never did they call us or let us know about any such maintenance issues when I lived there, actually the European utility companies services are horrendous, I find those here way superior. I prefer N Calfiornia PG&E to be sure, way more efficient than the utilities companies in So Cal, but the ones here are not too bad compared to Europe.

They do.....they sent us out a post card---i think the phone call is just a reminder, or just in case you didn't get your mail, letting you know.

Why can;t they leave a message!?!?! Kept getting called - didn't recognize # - decided to google and found this info.

BTW - thanks for this site! Totally helps to know who is calling! One of the best simple yet effective sites on the internet!

I missed a call from this number, no message left.  I did receive a notice in the mail last week that my power would be off tomorrow for 5-8 hours.  So, it's likely it was the power company as others above mentioned.

I got the same message from the same number for a scheduled power outage.

Got a phone call from this number. No message left

It's So CA Edison letting us know about a rolling black out. No biggie.

These fools are calling my cell ph up here in Canada! they wont stop

888-759-6056 is a computer generated message from your local utility company advising of a power outage.  However, if you're not at home the least they should do is leave a msg., but perhaps that's too complicated for American industries.  In Europe and Japan I know from experience they send out alerts via text msg, E-Mail and phone and leave a voice mail to warn of a planned outage.  Now why can't they do that in the world's richest, most powerful country?
