567 Area Code - Anyone Live In it?

[grinningghost]

If you do, please PM me, I'm hoping you could do me a favor. Easy, free - no big deal really.

567 is Toledo. A friend of mine goes there about once a month. She stays in the 419 area. What's up?

 

[poohandwendy]

I don't, but I have unlimited long distance, if that is the issue...I'll make a call if you want, LOL!

Well, our latest text message drama involves a phone number with a 567 area code. I tried calling it from my cell phone and my landline - and I'm having no luck getting through to it.

I figured if someone lives right IN the 567 area code, they could just dial the number without the area code and maybe they'd get through to it. The stupid reverse phone directory thing gives me only the info that it's a landline in Bloomville, OH. Not very helpful.

Ah, I understand now. It depends. Around here, we have to dial the area code too, no matter if it't the same as your own. It's a dumb thing, to be honest. Not sure if things are different there.

They did it because of the massive amounts of cell phones/fax/pc's...I am not sure why they didn't just leave our area codes alone and give all of the non landline lines a whole new set of area codes. But who am I?

Anyways, hope it gets figured out. Let me know if you need me to call anyone or hunt them down like a dog. Got your back sista!

Thanks my friend. I am sure we WILL find out who did it, as Verizon is tracking them down and if I have to pay one of those stupid online detective services to tell me where it came from, I will. My husband is totally ticked off right now - as he is certain it's someone he knows, because the chances of a random spoof coming from a little town in Ohio where he regularly works is just a tad too weird for a coincidence right now.

And when I find out - I'll let you all know - because nobody else should have to wonder if this happens to them unexpectedly.

Did you try dialing "1" before the area code?

Would you like me to try, seeing that we're from the same area?

BTW - - hope things are going OK.

I live in 513 but sometimes calls will go through from my cell phone without dialing an area code within Ohio. Want me to try?

 

[grinningghost]

At this point, anyone who would LIKE to try can - the number is 567-205-0537 - if you actually get something - let me know.

And to Melanie - everything has been going well - until this little bump in the road - which is why for DH's sake, we need to figure it out - he seems to think I suspect him of something - I really don't, but he's kind of in a "Now I look guilty again and I hate it because I'm not" mode - he wants all suspicion (even if it's in his own mind) taken away.

Ok, I tried it both ways..the regular # with area code and then dialing 1 first...

Both times it said "Sorry, this number cannot be completed as dialed or has been disconnected, please check the listing and try again" or something to that effect.

Pretty much the same garbage my DH got when he tried. I got some message saying I needed to enter an access code first. Apparently this is a complex phone number.

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

Didn't work. It said "the caller you are trying to reach will not answer." I thought that was strange, I've never gotten that message, just the typical "this is not a working number" message.

 

[poohandwendy]

Bizarre!

It does sound like somebody is trying to yank your chain and create trouble where it isn't needed. I really hope you find out who did it.

Me too Marti. And I notice you're from Fairport, just a short drive down the 90 from me - you can't be all bad.

 

[Steamboat Marti]

I thought that was you! Are you the one that posted a million years ago that you had a couple of the realllllyyyyyy old Poly glasses that looked like Tiki Men? Please say it was you - otherwise I'm confusing you with somebody else!

Or crazy for moving up here to snow central -- its a fine line!

 

[VioltePrincess]

I know this thing has you weirded out but


do you really think it wise to publish the phone number in an open forum? and to ask everyone to call it?


you could be in serious trouble if this weren't a nonworking number.

Yep. Actually, it's my Dad that has them. Those suckers are like gold to me. I don't care if I inherit anything else, those babies are MINE.

At least I had the right person! If you ever wanted to part with one - you let me know, DH would be shocked to say the least. He swears it is his, yet it is in his mom's house (long story )
