"Give us a call at 1-800-ALLSTATE"

[Queasy]

Link - That's one too many numbers. How can you expect anyone to call you???

 

[njmodi]

Cos the last digits are ignored - it's easier to remember?

Perhaps 1800-ALLSTAT would confuse people, so they just go ahead and assume if you dial the extra 3 it won't hurt anything.

God that number is still stuck in my head after last posting about it a few days ago... it may be annoying but it worked

I tried dialing 1-800-ALLSTATE on my cell phone to see if it would work. Nope.

Same deal with 1-800-MATTRESS, reminds me of the Mitch Hedberg joke...

You fail then.

Are you serious? It's just easier to remember, the only thing you have to worry about is dialing that last number in before any kind of automated teller service comes up and thinks you're selecting an option.

:laugh: What's worse, it doesn't even sound like the way people shorten the word in casual conversation. Kind of like prolly and iono - where the hell did those come from?

Dr. Christopher Turk: J.D., big news! Guess what my new cell phone number spells?
Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: Why'd you get a new cell phone number. Your old number spelled kufunninapuh.
Dr. Christopher Turk: Yeah, well this one's 916-Call-Turk. Yeah, so now all you gotta do is call Turk!
Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: How am I supposed to remember that? I'm begging you, stick with kufunninapuh.
Dr. Christopher Turk: Come on, man, this is the best thing that's ever happened to me besides getting married.
Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: She's not here.
Dr. Christopher Turk: It's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

You aren't very observant... companies have been doing that for MANY MANY years! You fail at life...

You fail at declaring failure.

No, the declaration stands.

Agreed. The OP fails at observation...VERY old practice...probably older than the OP.
