[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 2103915, member: 10690"] This whole conversation makes me wonder. Over a year ago I had to get a new number for my cell. Those numbers are supposed to be inactive for at least 6 months before they are reassigned. I started getting collection calls that day. Most from the Orlando FL area. Some from other areas, and texts that you would have to see to believe. All intended for a Victoria (last name redacted to protect the innocent). I'm talking about texts from her mom, her auntie, her cousins, her boyfriends, etc, etc, but mostly from creditors, and none of them, family included have been in this part of the country. I've gotten picture texts of crap you wouldn't believe, nothing naked, yet, but these people are some of the ugliest folks I've ever laid eyes on. It was sorta funny at first, but I've lost my patience. I had to have a lawyer friend of mine send a letter to a Orlando cable TV and internet provider to get them to stop calling me 6-8 times a day. The Orlando police department called yesterday looking for this *****. I was in the middle of explaining the situation, nicely I might add, and the officer goes off on me, then hangs up. That's a different story, but I called back and asked for her supervisor, got his voice mail, and left a not so nice review of Officer XXXX's behavior. So, anyway, if most of these government phones have 405 area codes, and those numbers have gotten mixed up with the numbers of paying customers, and they are handing them out all over the country with those 405 area codes, be careful if and when you get a new cell phone number. I don't think this gal has ever lived here, I think she's from the South, as that's where all the calls and texts originate from. So, how did she wind up with a 405 area code cell number? Edit - I've gotten a couple of calls & texts from New Orleans exchanges as well, from relatives of hers. It just now occurred to me, and I suppose it is possible, that she might have been a Katrina refugee and was in Oklahoma City long enough to latch on to a government phone. [/QUOTE]
