Yep, this phone number has been calling relentlessly and I won't answer! But I am curious who it might be, they don't leave a number and I am not suppose to get telemarketers. So just now, 111-111-1111 calls me!! Any ideas??

 

[binny]

oh that would be me sorry.


Thats the number I use to fill in forms on all my freebies. LOL

 

[BibbidiBobbidiBOO]

I would have answered if I had known it was you! But no freebies here!

CAN I COME VISIT, PLEASEEEE

Do you have caller ID? If you do, plug the number into a google search.

This number's been showing up alot on our caller id also. I figure it must have something to do with the political campaigns. We've also been getting alot of "unavailable" and "private" showings and I guess they got tired of us not answering, so are starting to leave their political messages on our answering machine. I'll be glad when these elections are OVER!

This is how telemarketers get around privacy. If you have caller ID and you use the privacy feature, the call isn't supposed to come through to your line unless the caller sends their number. Exactly how they get all zeros to go through the network, I don't know, but they do. Any number of companies use all zeros, and now some are using all other digits. Googling won't help as 000 000-0000 is not a "listed" number. As there are still no all same digit area codes, this works. However, when the existing area codes are all used up, unless we go to 11 or more digit dialing, then 111,222, etc may become valid.

I TOO want to come visit!!!! Is his house creepy or normal? Can I COME CAN I CAN I?????

 

[Beauty]

Nope, if it isn't a real number we don't answer. The last Unknown caller I answered tried his best to sell me an alarm system. Ugghh I hate it!!!!!

 

[Cthia]

At least you see numbers. I am still getting unknown name/number and we aren't suppose to get calls from telemarketers. I love my caller ID, I just let the phone ring when I don't know who it is.

How cool is that. My DH would love to come visit. He loves his books.

I doubt 000-000-0000 will pull up anything on google.

Goggle actually had some junk on it, including this...

The political calls usually will leave a message, even got a call from someone in the Bush clan.

I should answer next time and report them as we are on a "do not call" list through the Dept of Agriculture ($5 a yr, our 5th year on it) for FL, PLUS the new nationwide thingie.

I guess tomorrow I will get the 9's or 8's or something else spooky.

caller id kept showing 000-000-0000..I finally called the phone company..and they just cleared and reactivated the caller id..said there must have been a glitch..hasn't happened since..we are also getting a lot of 'unknown name/unknown #'s" and someone calls from Cincinnati..shows the # and just says "ohio call'..I don't answer and they don't leave any message..weird!

 

[Tiggeroo]

oh man I want to visit Stephen King's house. He has some cool friends too, like Dave Barry and Amy Tan.
Imagine what it must be like to go trick or treating there. It always sounds like he just sort of hangs out in the neighborhood too.
