Very likely, unless...

Do you have Call Minder or Voicemail Extra?

Re: own phone number

Hi there.

That's odd, I suspect it's something called spoofing generally used by nuisance callers.

It's probably worth ignoring it, however do let us know if you keep on receiving these calls.

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

OK, just checking, as those services do show your own CLI to announce that a message was received when the line was in use.
