How can a number that's out of service call me?

Ya im thinking that too. Someone messing with my phone. 

They're not "messing with your phone" specifically. Literally everyone I know gets these calls, including me on both my personal and work phones. Someone in some foreign country is just mass calling thousands and thousands of people at a time and making the number they're calling from look like it's local. A lot of times it will be the same area code and first three numbers. One time they messed up and added an extra digit when they called me but it still had the same area code and first 3 numbers.

I get 3-4 calls a day from numbers in my phone's area code that don't actually exist trying to sell me a factory warranty or refinance my student loans. It's extremely easy to fake a phone number in caller ID.
