Correction: Rawalpindi is not in India. 

If the call is from Dell, then does it matter, if the office is in India or Rawalpindi. 1800GO2DELL represents dell.

And in that case www.talkety.com is doing something similar from Germany (?). And you can misuse their service to have fun making prank calls to people from their own numbers.
