It's quite apparent that Verizon has recycled their phone number a little too soon. Ian's cell phone is seeing a lot of action these days. We've determined that it must've belonged to an elderly woman who died. A woman's medical practice called and said her insurance info is now out of date. Another call came in asking if she'd be interested in a making her bathtub a walk-in shower. Ian receives a ton of calls from the Tampa, FL area. Like up to 20 a day! We think she must have moved to Florida at some point.
The funniest was a phone call from a landscaping company checking on the project they would like to start. I told Ian to go ahead and ok the job. Start it immediately! (Just kidding. Ian never spoke to them.)
We've told Ian not answer his phone for any number he doesn't recognize. And I've told Ian to block the number so he doesn't get bothered with it again. But the calls keep coming. The woman gets more phone calls than Ian does. Actually Ian gets no phone calls. Most of what Ian does is text.
I wish there was a way to ensure a phone number sat unused for a year or more to weed out calls like this. It would certainly make Ian feel more like a 12 year old boy and not get mistaken for an elderly woman. :)
