Cell Phone Number Different on Recipient ID

You get great cell reception from Bakersfield living near Houston.

o-oka-ay

Solar winds/flare temporarily scrambled the communications satellite that was the intermediary between your two calling points, thusly giving a momentary glitch for her caller ID?

Hell, I'll buy anything these days.

Was your wife calling from a land line or a cell phone? and the same goes for your daughter

Cell phone to cell phone.

Maybe you discovered the glitch in the Matrix?

It could be any one of a number of things edgar. -

Human error in programming
a glitch in the signal in a number of places.

My guess is that it's a programming error that sees the Bakersfield transfer or Bakersfield is the default when it doesn't know where it came from.

I could suggest some experiments:

Does your wife's cell always show this behavior? Have her call you to see if you can verify it. It is possible that the cell company registered it incorrectly but that would be very consistent, so you should see it also.

If that's not it, try having her call your daughter and then you call her from your cell. If both are fine, then it might be a routing issue. If both show the wrong locations, then it might be how your company routes calls. If just her phone shows an issue, but it didn't happen when she called you, then that's just weird.

If you get the weird result and you have the right types of phones, swap chips between the phones and try it again. I doubt it is a hardware issue, but that would test it.

Scientific method at work, Baby!!!

yeah,

but you already spent more time and money trying to solve the problem than the phone company ever will.
