The number almost always exists and is a valid account. Get the discount, don't get tracked. Thanks, Tommy Tutone.
- r00fus 10y agoThanks - I always used my friends' parents old number - so someone I didn't know - this would be even better.
- VT_Drew 10y agoMake sure to tell them that you name in Jenny too.
- gvb 10y agoI've given (area code) 555-1212 and don't recall it ever being questioned. Technically I've given them my phone number, but with one indirection. ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directory_assistance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directory_assistance
- compuguy 10y agoThe last time I tried that, it didn't work (or there wasn't an account associated with it).
- Turing_Machine 10y agoIf I can't conveniently avoid those things, I like to use the names of famous serial killers, with a local address that would be in the ocean (if it existed). I've yet to have a sales clerk question it (or perhaps they just don't care).
- ams6110 10y agoThe clerks don't care. Why would they?
- blacksmith_tb 10y agoThis has the added advantage of producing some very strange buying-habit data, as you are likely not the only person to have provided 867-5309 / 555-1212.
