The odd number isn't something he was in control of, that's a network issue. He probably has an out of area phone. But if he didn't leave a message and you didn't answer the calls, how do you even know it was him?

Anyway, why didn't you just talk to him when you finally did answer?
I dunno if you're overreacting, but from your description it sure sounds like there are other issues going on between the two of you that probably should be resolved just for the sake of your mental health for the rest of the time you're in the department. Power plays between professors and students aren't usually going to resolve in the student's favor, but if you think your relationship with your advisor is going to give you a lot of flex then go for it I guess.

What exactly do you want the chair or dean to do?
ask the professor not to call you after 10pm? just ask your teacher yourself...
