Question
I have a vergin mobil cell phone and I pay as you use plan. My question is this. When I check my recent calls and I check the outgoing calls record the outgoing calls list will show that I called my own cell phone number. Why does this happen? Iam not calling my cell phone. Thank you for your answer. Richard

Answer
I would recommend contacting Virgin to ask them about this. They may not have the ability to track the calls you are calling or perhaps you are calling your voice mail and that's why it shows your number. It's also possible that the information is in the wrong column. Call their billing department and ask them as with most carriers, you should be able to see the numbers you have dialed. For incoming, you may or may not be able to see these and with some carriers, you can only see your number for the incoming but not the outgoing. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
