Re: Too many wrong number call on cell Ouch, that's mean. But I like it anyway 
Atlanta has several area codes that serve just the metro area. Last count I saw was three, 404, 770 and 678 with a fourth in the works (470 I think). I used to have 404-867-8200 and would get calls every so often for Chateau Elan. At first I just told them they had the wrong number but something told me to investigate it. I looked all over their site for a vague reference for my phone number but I was looking in the wrong place. Out of desperation I googled the 770 area code version of my number and voila, there it was. I see just now that googling the 404 version of my number reveals it still points to Chateau Elan in some winery directories that no doubt haven't been updated in a while. When I got that number back in 2002ish it was a new block Nextel had recently acquired IIRC.
After discovering they had the 770 version of my number I told callers to try that instead. Every misdialer was obviously grateful to get the right number and I never got any repeat callers. Granted the age group going to a winery is a little different than the age group that can't understand that Sylvia doesn't have this number anymore lol. |
