QuestionIf you call a number from this list, will they have your contact information?WawaWawaCommunity AnswerPossibly. Use an ID blocker so they can't call you back. If any strange things come up, talk to the police, a tech expert or your phone security company.
-
QuestionWhy are you guys not giving actual numbers? They are all fake.WawaWawaCommunity AnswerEither you called the wrong number, the number was fake, or the number was outdated. They did provide a warning on the urban myth ones. Try calling some numbers again, and see what happens.

QuestionWill it work on a flip phone?WawaWawaCommunity AnswerIf a flip phone works like a normal phone, then yes! If you are talking about those really old flip phones, try calling a your own phone or a friend's phone to see if it is still able to make a call.
