About the 617-697 exchange
617-697 is an exchange (the first six digits of a phone number) in area code 617, which covers Massachusetts. NANPA, which runs the North American Numbering Plan, assigned it to AT&T Mobility for the Boston, MA rate center. Numbers from this carrier are usually wireless (cell phone) lines.
People keep their number when they move or switch carrier, so this is where the number was first assigned, not where the caller is today. Local time for 617-697 numbers is usually Eastern time. Scammers can also fake (spoof) any number, so a call that shows a 617-697 number may not come from AT&T Mobility at all.
