So I called my buddy to let him know I'm calling a cab for him - I call the local phone number for Yellow Cabs and an operator answers asking me what the dispatch address is. I tell him and the phone begins ringing immediately, at which point my friend answers... I look at my phone and it now says I called his cell phone!
My other friend who was with me at the time is a bit of a conspiracy nut and claims it is the telecom company's automated switchboards "assuming" I meant to call my friend's cell (instead of the cab company... kind of like a telecom autocorrect, if you will), either due to the gps tracking based on the address I said or my recent call history.
My best guess is its just a crazy glitch in the software controlling it all, but I really have no clue how this could happen... so here I am asking anyone still reading.
tl;dr - I called the cab company and they transferred me to my friend's cell phone... how?
