- BrainRecall, on 06/20/2008, -2/+366Now that's what I call service.
- Alucard010, on 06/21/2008, -31/+370Easy Mistake:
1-866-497-2661 = legitimate Dell number.
1-800-497-2661 = phone sex
I hope he doesn't lose his job over this. - latova, on 06/21/2008, -3/+230If this goes front page he is so fired.
- webkami, on 06/21/2008, -16/+232LOL: Dell *HARD*ware support....
- ghee, on 06/21/2008, -7/+183Transposed 2 numbers? Who is he fooling?
- baylat, on 06/21/2008, -14/+175I'm sorry, I feel dumb. Can someone enlighten me on why the difference of the two contact numbers are so huge when he said he transposed only 2 digits...?
- scarz99, on 06/21/2008, -16/+162Dugg for Firefox 3
- brycehebert, on 05/03/2009, -4/+111He said that he "transposed two numbers" not digits.. They were probably written right next to one another and he read the wrong number (obviously).
- Kevin108, on 06/21/2008, -6/+96How did he find a Dell rep that spoke English?
- SpeedSteamBoat, on 06/21/2008, -3/+89Well, technically he said to "numbers" which could mean two different phone numbers which he confused sexily together.
- SpeedSteamBoat, on 06/21/2008, -20/+104Where in there do you see an 866 number?
I see 1-800-497-2661 and later 1-800-288-4410. - Alucard010, on 06/21/2008, -2/+85Google 1-866-497-2261 and you will see it is a legitimate Dell tech support number. I'm assuming he made two errors: he gave him the number to the wrong department (tech support, when it should have been OWR) and he typed it in wrong. He later corrected both errors when he posted the 4410 number.
- staffell, on 06/21/2008, -0/+78I bet you didn't call it for a laugh.
- googooly, on 06/21/2008, -3/+70HAHA I just Called this 1-800-497-2661 number. You gata hear what she says on other line
- DemDude, on 06/21/2008, -0/+61Once, I accidentally dialed that number from my office, the whole company instantly went bankrupt because of it!
- Cyber_Akuma, on 06/21/2008, -3/+50[Insert joke about "hard"ware and "3 and a half inch floppy" here]
- JoshuaH, on 06/21/2008, -4/+50Billions, probably..
- sleeknerve, on 06/21/2008, -5/+50i would rather not, it probably costs millions of dollars per second
- ecrunner, on 06/20/2008, -7/+46ha! Nice dell.
- warispeace21, on 06/21/2008, -2/+40He's lying.
- googooly, on 06/21/2008, -0/+34its 1-800 number. just hears the first 5 sec then hang up. its free until you talk to someone live
- Unr3a1, on 06/21/2008, -1/+31A google search for the number 1-866-497-2661 returns information about dell support, so yes that is the first number Benjamin was trying to give. A second search for the number 1-800-288-4410 returns information more related to expired warranty products from dell. Benjamin was going to give the first number but he must have found the second number to be more helpful so he gave Steven that. I think the only mystery left to solve is what kind of phone sex hotline uses a 1800 number.

- ubuntu710, on 06/21/2008, -1/+30by reading all the comments it seems like all the sex chat companies do this on purpose lol
- happyponcho42, on 06/21/2008, -6/+33http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx ...
still lists 1-800-288-4410 for on-site service, but it's definitely a sex hotline, just called.
dell support got hacked? - ep53, on 06/21/2008, -0/+27It did, but we will never know.....
- megamod, on 06/21/2008, -1/+281. Set up phone sex line that is very similar to Dell Tech Support Number.
2. ...
3. PROFIT!! - Scr4tchFury, on 06/21/2008, -3/+28I have a 3 1/2 inch floppy which I can turn into a 5 1/4 inch hard drive. Is that big enough, or do I need to upgrade?
- jwensley2, on 06/21/2008, -0/+25You're right, he probably read the 1-800 from the right number then read the rest from a number below/above/beside it.
Also, google 1-866-497-2661 for proof that it is a Dell phone number - Scr4tchFury, on 06/21/2008, -0/+24I've had that happen to me before. Circuit City’s repair number is 888-333-2333, but the woman on the phone told me 800-333-2333, which is a sex line. I wasn't looking for that kind of customer service.
- vvaduva, on 06/21/2008, -1/+24This could be an easy error to make and it is likely the support person is telling the truth. He read the two numbers and mixed up the exchange and last 4 digits together ending up with a new number that rings in a funky place. Funny outcome though.
- LoveAndSeagulls, on 06/21/2008, -0/+23I have a penis.
- Nephersir7, on 06/21/2008, -1/+24Exactly, that's why it takes so long to get support....
- Dabaum, on 06/21/2008, -3/+25Sounds like a job for the Hardly Boys!
- robdiggity, on 06/21/2008, -0/+21Anybody else read Benjamin's chat with an Indian accent?
- consie, on 06/21/2008, -0/+21Sexily: my third favourite adverb.
- oxyco, on 06/21/2008, -4/+221 800 497 2661
1 800 288 4410
"sorry I transposed 2 numbers"
Why does he have a sex phone line number in the list of his work phone numbers ? - 2Deluxe, on 06/21/2008, -13/+30Hahaha. I love how he has Out of Warranty and Sex Line numbers right next to each other.
I'm curios as to the diversity of the calls he fields... - diblasio, on 06/21/2008, -0/+16THAT'S the super power that you'd chose?
- po43292, on 06/21/2008, -1/+17Yo motherboard so fat she goes to a resturant, looks at the menu and says "okay!"
- ligyron, on 06/21/2008, -1/+17Because we all know his supervisor at Dell reads digg.com regularly
- GeorgeStone2, on 06/21/2008, -3/+18Hadn't finished.
- etnuts, on 06/21/2008, -1/+16I will RAM your Motherboard with my Hard Drive
- dclowd9901, on 06/21/2008, -3/+17Okay, so then why were the numbers written write next to each other :O
- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -0/+14It's called "misdialing" and I'm sure most people would try again after reaching a phone sex line the first time, especially when the number was given by tech support.
- frankverdi, on 06/21/2008, -0/+14I work at an enterprise management facility, all of our servers are Dell's. We call Dell all the time for support. We use the "1-866-497-2661" number, but I think b/c the phrase "800 number" has become such a cliche all of my co-workers and I have made this mistake (dialing 800 instead of of 866) at least once.
- petard, on 06/21/2008, -4/+18Is it that hard to understand?
Here is an example, these are two numbers right by each other
1-800-123-4567
1-800-765-4321
the guy wrote 1-800-123 and then looked at the screen to make sure its right, then he goes down and sees 4321 and types it in. The number he typed to the person is now 1-800-123-4321 which is NEITHER of those two numbers. - bweltondav, on 06/21/2008, -0/+13I hope northwestern has good spam filters. It's NEVER a good idea to post an email address on a forum/comments board like that.
- renegadeafk, on 06/21/2008, -2/+15I've got a raging clue.
- mrinsanity, on 06/21/2008, -1/+14.... I had intercourse with your motherboard
