SERIOUSLY Q

BalletBabe — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 05:07:57 GMT

I sign in and I get a pop up to enter my cell number for special offers. WHAT?? Like I want to be bothered with text messages now? Talk about desperate? No way!

So many sites I used to browse now require a cell phone instead of an email. I didn't mind that. It just goes to spam, but I have to use my cell for work to get system codes. I do not need spam coming over my phone. So those sites I used to browse? Not anymore.

@BalletBabe It may be annoying but it's a common practice these days. Everyone wants your cell number for notifications, tracking, etc. So much so that many places even offer extra discounts if you sign up.

That'll be the day they get my cell phone number. Like it isn't irritating enough to get the same pop up every day telling me 'they heard me.'

I put in my Tracfone number which is my backup phone. I still get the pop-up. So not sure if my regular cell number - the number on file - would even eliminate it.

@mspatmac

It's Jenny's phone number...You know...for a good time, call....

867-5309/Jenny was a line from a songby Tommy TuTone..early 80's....

Back when I was young!!! ( 67 now!!)

"867-5309 Jenny" is the song.

Bounce over to You Tube...I'm sure you'll recognize it!!!

https://youtu.be/8ou6DDG5e7I

This one has the lyrics, but there are lots of versions....

When this song first came out ( before caller ID and cell phones) some woman got 22000 calls ( legend has it!!!)

867-5309 is the phone number used in a once very popular song! In other words give them a fake #.

@Othereeeen Thank you, forgot all about it

"Jenny" is a song by Tommy Tutone from the 1960s. "For a good time call 867-5309." Great song and great idea for those very annoying text pop-ups!

@LisaKeith

OMG don't age me!!!!

1981!!

NOT 1960s!!!

Although it can SEEM that long ago!!!

Re: SERIOUSLY Q

LisaKeith — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 15:35:32 GMT

@Othereeeen Is it?!? My bad! It sounds like a 1960s song. I'm so old that anything after 1970s is "new music" to me!

@BalletBabe Lucky you, I've never had a request for a phone number.

My name is Jenny, too, and I graduated from high school in 1071. You wouldn’t believe how much ribbing I got when that song was popular. 😏
