I noticed a 'missed call' from this number at 8:11 p.m. on 12/30/11. I didn't recognize the phone number so I dialed the number. Immediately, a recording stated, 'Sorry this mailbox is full and there isn't enough room to leave a msg.'

Hello. Hello hello. Hello.

I didn't receive a call from this number.  My wireless bill showed an unauthorized $9.99 download charge and mentioned this 1-800-331-0550 phone number in the description along with sms181.com. Learned by viewing http://www.sms181.com/ ,  this is some service that supposedly gives you 20 lookups for $9.99/mo.   Look up is from cell phone and charge is to cell phone.    I called AT&T (my provider) and they happily got me sorted out and at my request, disabled my internet access (which is where most of these schemes originate).   According to http://www.sms181.com/ , you supposedly can stop this by sending message  STOP to 41479.  I don't know how to do that, but my AT&T rep took care of it for me.

Will ask odd questions, likely to record you saying "Yes" to claim you accepted services. Asks you to stay on the line to go to next agent.
