When you see a phone number on TV or a movie, do you call it?

I wouldn’t, but some do.

@dalepetrie Never have ,but enjoyed reading that GQ sir.

I have called when a) it’s been something I wanted info on or was interested in and b) it was a free number. (0800 generally here in the UK)
To be honest though, I rarely watch the adverts. lol

I have a phobia of calling people, so no, I have never phoned a number I saw on TV. :)

No

I have done it once or twice…. on one occasion the number was for UK Customs & Excise. Needless to say I hung up quickly.

Beverly hills 90210 was strangely unresponsive in common with it’s residents,can’t think why.

I called a number that they showed on Lost one time. It was funny because it was supposed to be the number you called to get info on the plane that had gone down or something. I don’t remember for sure. I knew they wanted you to call it because it was a real number not 1 800 555 5555 or something.

lol no i have not. but must say i have thought about it.

Not unless someone threatens me to do it.

I once tried to call Jenny, but I was about 7 or 8.

I called a few of the Lost numbers, but didn’t really have time to get into the ARG. I didn’t get the number down fast enough when it first flashed on the screen, but I called my dad who also watched Lost and made him do it. See, I was in VA and he was in WA, so he had the chance to catch anything like that that I missed. It was incredibly difficult to get through on the line—lots of other people must have been calling. His entire office actually waited for me to call, then call them and report back about what was on the line.

I have not called the number they use in the American President, but you can Google it—it really will get you to the White House switchboard. Or at least, it did at the time the movie was made.

No.In the reason of fake seal quality.The screen isn t any good for that

Interesting responses so far, thanks.

@dalepetrie Hey the super bowl had a commercial with some actor forgot his name with a number

1–877-987–6401

@Steve_A – did you call it?

No dear not at all, I have no enough time for calling. I m too busy person. I have no time for mad work.

Hi Dale, I’ve phoned a number or two that were given on LOST. The numbers took me to info about LOST. I once called a number that was listed on a taxi in a movie that was located in my home city. The phone rang, but I was too ‘chicken’ to wait to talk with whomever answered, if anyone actually did answer. BTW, it’s great to run into you again. You may recognize my avatar from AV. Hope you’re well.

@bookmarks – Yes, I remember you, welcome aboard…forgive me if I remember incorrectly as it’s been 2 years since I’ve been to AV, but were you LIN over there or something like that? Anyway, I do remember the avatar and I’m glad to see you on Fluther.. Hope you like it over here!

I’ve just started watching the HBO series True Blood and there was a number written on like a white board in the bar in that show, I was tempted to call it. Now days I pretty much just google the number because I figure some brave soul has called it and then blogged about their experience.
