So I was looking at my history logs just now and noticed the following:

Wednesday
From: 2028005504 To: 3034813615 06:11 pm 1

Tuesday
From: 6032962367 To: 8582795585 05:12 pm 1

None of those numbers are ours. There was a call from 6032962367 today but it correctly shows as going to: Our Home Phone - Voipo

Does this mean that someone is using our voipo account to call other folks or just that the history is messed up?

Thanks!

Please open a ticket by e-mailing support@voipo.com and a technician can take a look for you and help you further.

I am curious about the resolution of this issue, as I am seeing it too. Neither number shown in the history listing is mine. So far it has only happened to political calls from questionable sources.

Here is what I heard from VOIPO Support. The explanation was good enough for me and I haven't seen the issue since then.
