Area Code 999 ??

[klah]

Where the hell is this area code from? I just got a call from 1-999-980-xxxx, but did not answer. I found about 10 lists of U.S. area codes on google but none had this listed. It is not even in the list in my phone book. Is this a toll-number?

Merida, Yucatan, new area code: 999.

maybe its that?

 

At least it wasn't 666.

random fact:

999 is the equivalent of 911 in HongKong some other ex-British colony.

I did a reverse lookup and got this:

Expansion Code - This code is scheduled for relief expansion.
Region: All States


Now I think that this may be someone I know who is staying in NYC right now. Next time they call, I will answer.

Yeah, I was at a bar and asked some girl for her number. She was like "(999) 555-5555". I called it but couldn't get in touch with her. Do you guys know anyone in that area code?!?!?!

She must have a couple of roommates because two other girls have given me that number.
