    “Now to hand over my phone number with identifying area code to this unstable stranger. This won’t lead to any repercussions.”

      It’s probably the published number for the business

        It was the published number for the business until a series of prank calls and 1600 daily newsletters rendered it unusable. It’s best not to gamble with crazy.

      If you own a business, giving your phone number out is a part of doing business.

      Looks like the repercussion was being able to call someone a wet wipe.

        “Someone” is himself. This was posted amidst the proliferation of fake recruiter comeuppances a few years ago. I feel rude pointing it out but I really don’t want someone to replicate this and find themselves doxed by some doofus with way too much time on their hands.

          It’s a meme. None of the texts like this are ever real.

            I agree. Taking the audience’s extreme tendency to strip context into account, it’s worth offering context. And that leads back to the beginning.

          only in the usa would portable, mobile, hand, cellular phones have an -area-code- and be locked to where they were first enabled. only in the usa would the concept of “long distance” calls matter or apply to these phones.

            Phones are neither locked to their geographic area, nor long distance in the us.

            In fact, my us carrier doesn’t even charge me roaming in Europe or canada for data.

              If you say so.

              But I was charged long distance rates for making calls outisde my initial area code that I registered my phone in.

                I haven’t heard of or cared about long distance calls in over 20 years. I also still have the same phone number I had 20 years ago despite moving to six states and overseas once. My kids have the same area code on their phones as I do despite never living in that state and getting their phones over 1000 miles away from that area.

                I moved 1300 miles away from where I originally registered my cell phone, and I’ve never had to deal with long distance fees. I still have that number, in fact.

      I’m not American or anything but that just looks like a normal cellphone number where I live. All numbers start with 072/073/076 it doesn’t matter where in the country you live.

        I’m not sure how that’s relevant, but I wanted to take a minute and acknowledge how cool Ray was.

            Oh that’s cool. I haven’t played that game. I would definitely recognize his voice if I had.
