Looked up the number again. It belongs to some sort of restaurant. When I looked it up I realize that when I checked last night their webpage was open in the browser! I have never heard of it before and I sure did not open it in my browser.

I don't want to share the number right now in case they're not involved in this :P Anyway it does not seem to be a known scam number.

I had no apps running when I put the phone away.
I can't figure out what app was showing my location(if it was). I have not used any of the builtin maps too much...
I was kind of spooked out so I just turned off the device as fast as I could :/

one of the possibilities might be that this is some kind of tracking app, that allows the owner to track its device when it gets stolen.

I have an app like this on my Macbook (Sends me an email with a picture from the webcam + the name of the network to wich it is connected when i send a command to it.)

In my car I have installed a box with sim card and GPS that can do the following things:

- Send me the gps coördinates through mail or sms
- Warn me when the car starts moving between certain times
- Call me, and let me hear what's going on in the car
- ....


This might be something similar, so if you have bought a used N9, I would start worrying that it might have been stolen or something like that.
I bought my N9 new from a reliable store in december 2011. Im thinking that maybe the tracking app I use, the one that I got installed with the device, has gone haywire.
