Had a training course at work the other week and needed to put a dummy name and number into the system
867-5309 was the number picked 馃榿 Only myself and the boss got it and started singing it 馃

A certain grocery store demanded a phone number in order to get the sale prices. But it didn't have to be a real number. I usually used Jenny's number too.

They can give you a temporary phone number, which is handy for short-term needs. It鈥檚 like having a backup phone number that you can use for things like signing up for services or verifying accounts without giving out your number. If you鈥檙e looking for a temporary number, it might be worth checking out a service like Google Voice or TextNow.

Plus, it鈥檚 often free or cheap. Just read the terms and conditions, as some services might have limitations.

I am just finding it extremely ironic that someone in the UK would purchase a raincoat from Los Angeles. I doubt that anyone in LA even owns a raincoat. 馃榿

Sadly, although a raincoat did arrive, it wasn鈥檛 what I ordered, the seller didn鈥檛 respond and I reported the matter to the local department of commerce.

A salutary experience but not like I was buying a Speedy 馃檨

The coat was donated to the local charity (thrift) shop and someone will appreciate it.

No, it's not a backup pnhone number because in case you need a reverification code it is highly likely that you will fail to get this exact phone number back.

If they are not accepting your country code, are you certain they are willing to ship internationally?
