Wait what country is this? I've never seen a phone number in that format before
Country? USA. They're everywhere in the Midwest.
All up and down I-95 on the east coast, too.
They're also all over the place in the south
But US phone numbers are XXX-XXX-XXXX, this is XXX-XXX-XXXXX
In the North America Dialing Plan, 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx is the full number. From land-line phones, you have to add the "1". Cell phone carriers add the "1" (the country code) and just assume you want to talk within the US/Canada. Under the NADP digits after the 11th (including the assumed "1") are dropped, so the extra digit on these billboards is valid, just a gross mis-statement.
I get rage-angry when I see the ones that show the old (outdated) evolutionary model from primate to Hominid with the text "evolution=lie". They're all over where I live. Bastards.
That’s a terrific point. I’ve seen those billboards everywhere though, but I’m guessing they don’t get a lot of phone calls with an invalid phone number?
I wonder if it’s actually some sort of tax fraud scheme or something.
See my response
I was thinking it could be a number with a country code just formatted weirdly, but the only one it could be is cambodia which is +855 and the lengrh would still be wrong
Whoever downvoted a person asking a genuine question because something was not familiar: you're a stupid piece of shit. Get fucked. You have no business contributing to anything.
USA. We have this billboard around all over the country. 1 is implied, 855 is a commercial area code like the more famous 800, and we have 3-4 letters associated with each number they used to be on phone buttons back when phones had buttons, they’re the same letters you used when texting on a flip phone back in the 00s.
Huh, I’m old.
