Answer 1

It sounds like a code from your telephone carrier. For example, when I had problems with a number when using Cingular, I would get a message "ND47 ..." I'd call their service number (usually 6-1-1 will get them) and ask them,

FYI - all phone numbers in Oregon begin with either and area code of 503 (Portland area) or 541 (the rest of the state).
