No live person has called my magicJack number in years, which is kind of strange since you&#8217;d think there would be a stray wrong number here or there. I guess wrong numbers are not so common any more with speed dial being the norm.<\/p>\n<p>When I moved to New York I went dialed the phone number of the house I grew up in in Tampa, but within the 212 and 718 area codes, to hear who might answer the doppelganger number. This was something I wouldn&#8217;t have done as a kid on account of the long distance toll charges. I don&#8217;t remember anyone being at the 212 version of that number but the 718 version at one time went to a limo company in Flushing. Area codes used to have meaning but that is less and less the case, save perhaps for the legacy mystique of the 212 area code. I actually picked up a 212 area code number a couple of years ago. Verizon claimed they had no 212 numbers left but I always knew that was baloney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another &#8220;lower your interest rate&#8221; probe call, this one appearing to be from Gainesville, Florida.
