toll-free number error

[El Pollo Guerrera]

Had a laugh today...

Phone system at work is moving from old lines to VOIP, been a PITA to set up and coordinate with 'nationwide telephone company' but it's happening, slowly.

Today we come across an issue that the guy helping us doesn't know how to solve, so he gives me a toll-free number to call for a different division of tech support.

(should note that the tech had 'remote access' to our computer and typed the number for us in a text file, and it wasn't that I wrote it down wrong)

I call the number and get "Hey guys! Are you ready to talk to some hot girls just WAITING for some fun?"

Hung up, called the number back in case I misdialled... same voice message.

Hung up, told co-worker to call the number... big laugh.

Turns out the number the tech gave me was off, the number he gave was an 888- and the number it was supposed to be was 844-, the rest of the numbers were correct.

And you're not going to tell us the rest of the number? Kit-Ginevra will be so disappointed.

888-69-69?

or 888-69-16?

Years ago, our developers called up the IT-Ops and said they needed to do an emergency push of one of our websites. Asked what the changes/reason for the emergency update. Turns out they reversed two number of the phone number. That number was for a Las Vegas escort service, No one would admit to how long this mistake was out there.
