- kensavage, on 10/12/2007, -2/+42Think of all the unsolicited phones calls you people will get now because you entered your phone number in.
SUCKAS! - Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+35If some website asked you to enter your email address so you can receive funny jokes, would you? Millions of AOL users can't be wrong!
- guytoronto, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34Mine translates into something that Helen Keller might blurt out.
- RatherDashing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27When me and my friends all got cell phones in high school we tried to find out if our phone number had a secret message. One of my friends numbers turned out to be LUV-ANAL. Mine is just 420-DEAN ;).
- Cymrubeats, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26http://www.funnyccnumbers.com/ this one is great, put your credit card number in here and it decodes your level of stupidity from 1 through 10 It's great, be a dick, try it. :tu:
- psychotron, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27Is it a good idea to be putting your cell phone number into this website? Has anyone gotten spam or anything like that?
- TwistMyArm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26My brother's number is xxxx-WANKER (it's an Australian number and yes, he requested it on purpose). He told me that at one stage he was getting 2 or 3 phone calls a week with people just saying "hey, do you know your phone number is xxxx-WANKER?". He would just say "yeah" and they'd normally hang up.
One night, though, he got a call from some who was quite drunk... instead of hanging up the phone, he just put it down beside him. About 20 minutes later he picked it up and said "are you still there?"
The guy just starts laughing and saying "wanker, wanker". My brother just replied: "I might be a wanker, but you're the ***** who's been paying for a 20 minute mobile call".
The dude screamed some obscenity and hung up. Funny story, I reckon. - OneFishTwoFish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Dude! You know a guy who'll pay money for valid phone numbes!?! Hook me up -- I've got a book full of them! It's white and about 3 inches thick. I've got another book that's yellow and about 5 inches thick, but I don't trust it -- it's full of ads.
- EvolvedAnt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19My home phone number has "Hire"
My cell phone number has "Sexy"
Giving out my number will help me get a job, and a girlfriend now, wow! - webcrumb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18"Give me your IP address [which is logged when you go to the website], and your phone number"
127.0.0.1 ? - geuisteses, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Umm, I would caution that I ran into one of these last year that was a scam to get phone numbers.
Be cautious when using an unvetted service like this. - Dested, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14Man did we all just get social engineered into giving out our phone numbers?
- PecanHead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12@FreakTrap
I accept your challenge.

Bring it. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11in my old apartment we got a vanity phone number. xxx-FUC-KYOU. It was fun to tell friends, and people never forgot it. but i gotta tell you...the prank calls never stopped.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16867-5309...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11another good one is http://www.funnyssnnumbers.com
it's hilarious - cphuntington97, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10couldn't they get an area code by localizing your IP?
- FreakTrap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10@Stormwysper
Give me your IP address [which is logged when you go to the website], and your phone number. I guarantee I can guess your area code within 2 or 3 guesses, if not on the first try. - wired4u, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Mine spells my name which is really cool. My father worked at a major phone company and was able to grab my name. He told me the FCC passed a law recently which no longer allows people to do that though
- Jwoey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9another way to do this.. If you don't want to risk getting calls... is to turn on T9 on your phone.. and type in your number.
I've known mine is Mary Wow for awhile!
0's and 1's in phone numbers ruin everything. - inajeep, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9No, I didn't.
- rbenech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8@PecanHead - oh, it's on!!!
IP: 74.132.124.38

City: Louisville, Kentucky
That leaves 270, 502, 606, 859
Plus if your using VOIP it could be anything... either way, sorry for all those other people getting prank calls when trying out these numbers... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Don't give the area code.
- libgermany, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8stupid but funny. mine only has xxxxxx-whiz xD
- GT4NE1, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11Perfect way to phone number farm. Let the telemarketing calls begin.
- CDefense7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7damn. and i thought i was all sorts of clever.
- trunkster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8And hundreds of digg users invertenly posted their phone numbers onto digg.

- beatmix01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7yeah, um this site has been around since, gee i dont know 1996?!
And no, they do not 'spam' the numbers as I had entered tons of numbers into it back in the day with no 'spam'.
sheeze :rolls: - gubbas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Read the "terms of service"...
"Although PhoneSpell keeps the phone numbers you request searches on..."
They super-duper double promise not to do anything with this information. Why collect it then??? Later in the terms of service, they state that they can change these terms of service at any time:
"We may modify or terminate our services from time to time, for any reason, and without notice..."
Yeah, better safe than sorry... - ENEL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6-diggers dont get it....
- Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Your father is wrong: the FCC hasn't passed a law preventing people from getting custom numbers, if they're available.
- dustedbunny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6***-***-hack
Nice.
:) - nkassi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Not really. It's a terrible way of collecting numbers. Anyone can input what ever number they want. I've been putting random stuff in there just to find something funny. I'm in calc 3 class and I bored ;-)
- joshcook83, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"i-dug-it"
- Cymrubeats, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@ AriaStar - You're a gem. ;)
- mage1129, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I used this a long time ago with my full number and have yet to receive a call from a telemarketer based off of this.
- KSUdesigner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"I'm worried about privacy. What information do you collect and what do you do with it?
PhoneSpell collects the standard information that all web servers collect: for each request PhoneSpell's web server logs the time and date of the request, the IP address of the requestor, what was requested, the "user agent string" (which identifies the type of browser you are using), the "referrer" field (generally the URL of the page that had the link you just clicked on), and some information about how the server responded to the request. Virtually every web server on the internet records exactly this information. This information is used to determine usage patterns, identify problems, etc. PhoneSpell's web presence provider has access to this same information (in fact they give it to PhoneSpell), but otherwise PhoneSpell does not share this information with anyone.
PhoneSpell also logs every mnemonic search requested along with the IP of the requestor and the status of the result. This information is used to make sure that the service is working as intended and to see how people are using it. Nearly all of PhoneSpell's features are a direct result of reviewing these logs and discovering in them types of requests people were making that PhoneSpell did not handle well.
Except for the email you send to PhoneSpell, PhoneSpell does not get or keep any information that identifies individuals. Although PhoneSpell keeps the phone numbers you request searches on, often those do not have area codes and even if they did no one but you knows if those phone numbers are yours, your sweetheart's, you mother's, or your favorite pizza joint's.
PhoneSpell has never given any of this information to any other entity or used it to contact anyone who has not sent us email. PhoneSpell does not know or care to know the identity of its users who wish to remain anonymous unless they try to abuse the service. PhoneSpell does not send unsolicited email (spam), does not authorize anyone to include information about PhoneSpell in an unsolicited mailing, and supports CAUCE in their efforts to restrict unsolicited email." - mozillamonks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Dell's 18009993535 Number (1800wwwdell) is now, get this:
