I called today to add a phone line to our Verizon service at the new house. First, they gave me a phone number starting with 771. This is one of the two main exchanges for phone lines in our town (yeah, the town’s not that big). But the other one is 777, which of course I wanted. So I asked the representative if she could find me an available number starting with 777. Might as well try, right? Well, she found me one.
“Ok, your new number will be 777-6663.” Haha… oh well.
I didn’t ask again for a new number, as I figured one high-maintenance request was enough. Fortunately, for some reason she ended up changing it one more time, still with a 777 exchange. And… for some reason they couldn’t give us the same rate we were previously getting on our internet service, so they INCREASED the speed of our connection, added the phone line, and gave us unlimited long distance with some other features as well… all for the price of the slower internet (without phone) that we had before.
Ok, I guess it did turn out to be a rather fortunate phone call after all.

As a huge fan of the number 7 (especially 777), I am very excited to hear your phone number begins so nicely. And good job on a better deal too. I need to call around and find myself a better deal on internet/cable one of these days...
so what IS your new number?
