phone number question - Boot Camp
Hi there - Really not expecting much communication from my daughter at Boot Camp, but remembered that either she or her onboarding chief mentioned we might get a phone call from an unusual number (not a Chicago area code). I thought we'd get calls from 1-800 numbers, but that information is a blur.
She's almost 4 weeks in, her Dad's overseas on a vacation and I started getting calls from Texas? Did anyone else experience getting calls from other parts of the country when it was their child calling home? If they didn't reach you were they able to leave a message? or should I expect something from an 800 number if she calls at all?
Still new to this.
Thanks!

I thought it was from an 847 area code (but it's been a long time!). To be safe you should answer every call - if it's a telemarketer just hang up on them lol!

All of our calls came from 847, however, if your SR is calling from an office and not the phone banks if could from any of several other area codes. Originally all the Chicago area was 312 before they started overlaying 7 other area codes. The other likely ones to see are 224 & 872. We have family in the area and none of them have the same area code, not even when they live in the same house.
