Dan QSomebody just called me and quickly decided it was a wrong number. The signal was bad and I wasn't sure I'd heard them right, so I followed up by replying by text.
It turns out they asked Siri to call Three (the mobile network). Siri then presumably searched online, found Three Rings, managed to connect that to my mobile number, and called me.
If Siri's decided that I represent Three, this could work out even worse than that time Google shared my phone number.

ArtemisSo at what point, if ever, do you change your telephone area code to the new place you're living?
I've had a KY area code since I first got a phone. I expect to live in the greater Denver area for the rest of my life. Do I ever switch?
Archives départementales EureHier, c’était la Journée mondiale de la #poste !
📮 L'occasion de vous présenter ce brouillon de lettre du directeur départemental des postes, #télégraphes et #telephones adressé au Ministre des communications, datée du 5 septembre #1940

En exposant la situation d'urgence dans laquelle s'est trouvée l'écrasante majorité des habitants des villes euroises, il évoque les #incendies qui se sont déclarés dans les bureaux de poste à #Louviers, aux #Andelys et à Notre-Dame du Vaudreuil.

RossSWith landlines pretty much having gone the way of the dinosaurs, one subtle point young people will never understand or likely never get to experience, is the supreme satisfaction of slamming the phone down when one completes an especially irritating phone call...

Early telephone types ranged from large wooden wall telephones to candlestick desk sets. The rotary dial telephone, with a handset resting on its base, permeated American homes by the 1930s.
Alexander Graham Bell and his assistant, Thomas A. Watson talked by telephone to each other over a 3,400-mile wire between New York and San Francisco in a call that sounded far clearer than their first conversation thirty-eight years prior. More than a decade later, the first official transatlantic telephone call took place in January of 1927 between New York and London via radio waves.
