How 'bout no?

I got a new cell phone this week, and today received my first text message.

I don't know who this person is, or who they think I am, but they want to know,

"CAN U GET SOME PILLS OR BUDS
HAPPY NEW YEAR"

Er. I probably COULD, but seeing as how I'm not in the habit it would take me a while. Besides which, I don't wanna. If you want to help this person out or tell them what an idiot they are for trying to organize drug deals over text message, feel free to call or spamminate 502-541-4936. *grins*

My coworker is trying to reply, "Sorry wrong number", but we thought better of it. No reply needed.

This has never happened to me with any of my other numbers. All I ever had were the spam faxes on my old land line. I'm not sure I like this.

I don't have to pay for incoming text messages, do I?

O_o ETA: Apparently, I do. $0.15 a piece. Damn! So my next call will be to customer service to see if they'll remove it. Sure, it's only $0.15, but it's the principle of the thing, you know?

Oh so that's what that button does.

Sorry.

My bad.

Seriously.

;)

Oh, so is your phone number 502-541-4936?

We so need to come up with a way to spam this person's phone.

Yep.

I mean, aside from it being the wrong area code and exchange and... well... ok there's one number right in the last four digits but it's not in the right place, but other than that...

I'd be telling them to get their own damn beer.

That's if I knew how to send a text message.

I assumed by the context that by "BUD" they meant p0t, not the watered-down piss marketed by Anheuser Busch.

I've now had text messages blocked from my phone - in and out, because I've never sent a text message in my life and don't plan to start now - and Sprint has put a note on my account saying that I am justified in requesting the $0.15 be removed from my bill - in FEBRUARY.

?!? So I have to make a note for myself to check my bill in February so I can plan to call and dispute the charge. Why they can't do it on their own, I don't know.

Oh. Clearly I'm not in the habit, either.

I'm not entirely sure why I knew that, but there you have it.

I tend to get wrong numbers on my Nextel two-way. Someone will beep and just start talking and I have no idea who it is. And it always seems to happen at like 2am, so I just keep beeping them back and bugging them since they woke my ass up!

Can you imagine the calls we got

There was a juvenile probation officer (when we lived in Baton Rouge) who had the same initials and last name as Phil. I'd try to stop the pleas for leniency from the distraught parents but sometimes they wouldn't take a breath!
