That 678 one was quite serendipitous.<br><br>I kinda like it when works of fiction include phone numbers that don't have 555 (or in the Simpsons' case, KL5) in them, but sometimes it does cause trouble. Did you hear about the woman who kept getting calls for God after <i>Bruce Almighty</i>?

that's kind of long... are you sure it's not some other country, or just fake?<br><br>like, when you tell somebody to check out Pen Island Resort at penisland.com? (note: it's not a realy website, just so you know.)

It should work anywhere in the world, that's why they're called toll-free. The caller doesn't pay for the call under any circumstances, the receiver always foots the bill <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
