we've got something similar in the UK. Only thing is when they leave there message it's actually at Radio 1 and they play the messages on air. It's really funny!

Beergoggles, I wish I had know about this when I was living there!

I definitely could have used that for the one guy in a club that thought he could pick me up by describing his flat to me (after saying what he would like to do to me there).
Yep, that is REALLY going to pick up the ladies! Instead it ended with:
"So, if I give you my number, will you give me a call?"
"Um...no."

So give out the New York one and say it's a weird ass cell phone. That way they're rejected AND long distance!

I saw this out of the corner of my eye and thought it was 1-800-ERECTION. I was all ready to dial.

This is pretty ingenious.

That's just cruel. I love it.

Now we just need this implemented worldwide, Forester. I can use a local version of this.

I heard about this one from a guy who was given the number by a girl in a club. Unfortunately he knew what the number was before he even dialed it.

Yes, apparently he has gotten this rejection number more than once.

Ouch.

Wow. I just called. It's certainly amusing and very useful, but it's also a tiny bit cruel. ouch. That must really sting.

The Seattle number says "invalid number" when you dial it.
