Getting freaky on the phone, circa 1915.

When it comes to toll-free numbers, PrimeTel Communications is cornering the market.  This relatively young company has cornered the market on toll-free phone numbers, and they’re redirecting those numbers to a pornographic partner in crime.  PrimeTel Communications is a corporate sibling of National A-1 Advertising, a phone sex company.  The two companies have the same ownership, operators, and business facilities.  Basically, National A-1 Advertising owns 25 percent of 800 numbers and redirects 99 percent of them to phone sex lines.  PrimeTel, founded in 1995, is one of about 400 companies registered as toll-free service providers, and has bested huge companies like Verizon at their own game.

“They started by getting numbers for phone sex, then getting good numbers in general, then they started taking all phone numbers,” said Bill Quimby, who owns TollFreeNumbers.com, which helps companies find easy-to-remember 800 numbers.

Not only does PrimeTel Communications own 25 percent of all 1-800 numbers, they’ve also snapped up significant numbers of the 888 and 866 area codes, which are ALSO used for toll free phone numbers.  Basically, when a significant 800 number drops from service, PrimeTel snaps it up akin to one of those web companies that hordes dot com addresses.  When you mis-dial an 800 number, you get something you’re not looking for.  Ask Chad Ochocinco about how embarrassing a faulty 800 number can be.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
