Default Got called off a weird number earlier but can't call it back?

This is the number and what the i phone came up with?

00 1 (902) 500-553
Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island.

Now,I don't actually know anyone in nova scotia and google didn't really bring up any info?

We've talked about moving to Canada but I've not gone any further than joining a website and talking to an agency.there's a few people on the website I've talked to but I'm pretty certain I've never given my home number to anyone?

Anybody shed any light on this?thanks!!!

Hmmm?it's rang three times now,I always let numbers run to my answerphone as it's an audible one just incase it's some nobend!!!

I've tried it a few times now and it just won't ring back yet i found it odd when typing it in the i phone it came up with the nova scotia thing?

Can i ask how you did a ping on a phone number and then worked out its a BT server? (Even though the guy is on sky bb, only BT line to the exchange.)
