I'm international (Spain) and have the $50 15GB add-on, so I'm calling back to the US a decent amount. My friends told me that when I call them it comes from a Russian number, so I asked for a screenshot which revealed a lot. My US number is in the 720 area code. Russia's intl country code is 7, evidently.
