Not at all. If your mate Fred's number is 01234 567890 (I don't think
Bedford has issued that number, btw) and you receive a call from
01234567890 you know it's Fred. What you don't know is exactly where
he's calling from in the world. But does that matter? If he called you
from his mobile, you still wouldn't know where he was calling from. What
you do know is that it is Fred and that you can call him back on that
number where-ever he is. I don't see the problem.
