Perhaps partially OT but...
My first phone number ever was 835-
1411, and in the first 24 hours of having it, I got about a half-dozen calls (throughout the night even) from folks thinking that they were calling information (
1-411). I called up the phone company and said:
- You're giving me a new phone number
- OK, no problem sir, but there will be a $55 fee to change your number.
- No, you'll be giving me a new phone number and not charging me a fee etc etc...
- OK.
I find it difficult to imagine that everybody getting this number wouldn't have this problem and so it's not like this shouldn't be a surprise to the phone company?
Anyway, if I didn't have anything better to do, I could have just kept the number and gave out all sorts of incorrect information for the heck of it, but I needed to be able to sleep through the night as well...
