Anyone out there get phone calls from people for someone else because you have the same phone number but different area code?
I do and it has been pretty interesting at times, I'll try to keep it short.
I just received a call a few days ago from an older lady from Idaho who says she was calling her own number but reached me. No big story here we talked and laughed at the confusion for a few minutes and I finally got her to realize her area code was 209 and mine is 206.
For the past at least 8-9 years I have been getting calls on and off from different people all over the world. Though I only got one guys name and it happened to be a guy named Hot Shot Scott from the T-Man in the morning show on KUBE from a while back that I used to listen to. The person(s) that are actually being called have been for A guy named Alan White from the band Yes and his wife Gigi. As my name is also Allen, you can see where a lot of the conversations were kind of confusing to say the least. One guy, after talking to him for a minute, we had finally figured out that he was not looking for me but Alan White. Alan speaks with an english accent BTW and I do not. This guy laughing, told me that I should sue Alan White and make him change his number, lol. I even spoke with Alan White himself at one time, he was at the airport calling his wife Gigi. I wonder what went through his head when a man answered what he thought was his home phone. Anyway, I talked to him for a few minutes and explained that for years I had been redirecting calls of his from my 206 number to his 425 number and that it was a pleasure to actually finally speak to him and explain to him what has been going on. We laughed and he apologized while I relayed that it was no problem. Funny though not one person over the years told Alan White that people were calling the right number but wrong area code, lol.
Any similar experiences???
