The easiest way is to call the number in question. If it has been disconnected, you will receive an automated message from the carrier explaining as much. If for any reason you cannot call the number, phone listings, contacting the carrier, and other methods can answer your question.
Double ring: You have been placed in call waiting if the first ring is a double ring while you are the caller. Extra-long ring: Whenever you attempt to call out, your local switch takes over. The longer it takes to connect to the local switch, the longer the ringtone.
For an iPhone: Go to “Settings,” then “Accessibility,” then “Call Audio Routing.” For an Android: Go to “Phone Icon,” then “3 Dots,” then “Settings,” then “Answering and ending calls.”
You can get a call from an unallocated number when it’s spoofed. Or, the owner of the number didn’t pay. Or, the telephone provider has network problems. Or, the number is no longer assigned.

However, the best thing that you can do is to take precautions and be wary of those you converse with over the phone or voice-calling apps.
That might be a scam. It might be a robocall that is programmed to call you for one or two rings and then hang up. The strategy is to take advantage of people’s curiosity. The operator of the robocall wants you to return the call and then pay hefty fees associated with the phone number.

No one who appears to be calling from 0000000000 or 1000000000 actually has those numbers assigned to them. Therefore, they are guilty of this spoofing tactic. Spoofing is when someone or something takes on another identity that does not belong to them—and in this way commits identity fraud.
