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.

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.

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.
