My number shows because she calls me every month after she has

phone bill.
Any solutions?

I've had something similar with an old dear recently - we've got
caller display for missed calls in work, and I returned the call. She
reckons she didn't call me, but after speaking to her it transpires
she'd had problems with her billing ever since a new neighbour had
moved in (she's on a cable / virgin media phone line)

I suggested she got back in touch with them, gave her my number, and
I kept a record of the call time (early hours of the morning IIRC) in
case they wanted to argue the case.

Mistakes do happen, and it might make her feel better if you suggest
something similar ?

maybe but i expect she'll forget how much better she felt fairly
quickly given the problem.....
