I'm looking for an old classmate and found the number 2164210095 but it rings once then goes floop floop floop and hangs up. I've never heard of this before. Is it a feature, a bug;-) or a blue box or what?
(Yes, it's in the right area code and state.)
Sounds like you have dialed a telephone company test number, maybe battery/ground, either that or he has problems on his end with something.
That actually sounds like a problem I once had with my phone line years ago, although I didn't make a note of the exact noise I heard when I tested it from work.
On an incoming call, the ring voltage would apparently be enough to short the phone line outside, so I'd be lucky to hear a single ring inside. I don't know exactly what they did to finally fix it, but I suspect they simply replaced a section of the line.
