Call Keith Barry,never mind Harry

A Shaved Duck?

Do joe and these think there is a person generating these numbers.... its obviously just a computerised function..once the account is closed it frees up the number.

Dan Jaman

What jargon? That's entirely from you, isn't it, Joe?

foggy_lad

Will someone in RTE get that fcuker off the wireless!!

Asking a man who's son committed suicide "was it sudden", what a fcukin idiot!

Don't be picking the poor mans brain,explain in detail why you still have a druggies name in your phone...

I am definitely listening to Liveline for too long.

About 10 years ago the very topic of somebody who used to ring the voicemail of their mothers phone to hear her voice and vodafone or whoever had allocated the number to somebody else.

Fairly sure this is a plot from a horror movie I watched some time ago.

im kinda baffled at how it happend though.

surely if he has a pre pay phone they'd never know to reasign it.

only thing i can think of is he was bill pay.

HeidiHeidi

What actually happened here? (I missed the start of the show)

So what if the number is still in their phones? They're hardly ringing it, are they

deathtocaptcha

so she pressed the name accidentally and let it ring out, waiting for someone to answer?

why not cancel as soon as you've dialled the number and realised the mistake as most people would do?

Living Off The Splash

So wen you press de button an someone else answers do you tink it's a ghost or wat?

I remember that, too.
Understandable stuff, but even Vody voicemail passes on...

If you go to Australia for a year and don't use the number they can re-assign it

The phone story was just introduced as a shoehorn for a suicide programme

sligojoek

God forbid

madanall

Now they are back from the dead !!

ThisRegard

Think about it Joe, how likely is someone to get the number and ring another person who already had that number saved under the deceased number?

HeidiHeidi

I'm thoroughly confused by all this.

He'd want to change the subject fairly sharpish or I'm out :mad:

Dan Jaman

There are so many sequences?
There's a finite number, ffs.

Ah Christ, lads. Would you's not take this to therapy. This is live radio.

Exactly so. I have a pair of old payg sims I keep some credit on as fall-backs. I have to text from them every few months to keep them active. I nearly lost one, with all its credit a couple of years ago, but got it back just in time when I called O2. It hadn't yet been re-allocated, but nearly was.
