It sounds as if you are having your home phone(land line) forwarded to your cell phone. You may have to disable call forwarding from your home phone.

When you dial your home land line are you using speed dial or the full ten digit number? Check the contact of "home" in your phone and make sure it's not saved in the number 1 contact spot and or upon further review doesn't have a *86 in front of it.

If wow cable has a web interface for your account, you may be able to disable call forwarding from there.
