A hairy situation, remedied
For the last three weeks I've been answering the phone for the Just For Men hair coloring free trial.
No, I haven't taken up a new vocation. As it turns out, the 800 number for Just For Men's latest national ad campaign is only one digit off from my personal 800 number, the one I signed up for because it was free from my long distance company and might potentially be useful sometime. My number ends in -3020, while Just For Men's is -3030. Fun!
According to my online statement, I've received 44 phone calls in November to my 800 number, all of which are misdials of Just For Men's number. They've come at all hours of the day and night, waking me up several times (when you're the pastor, you've got even more incentive than most people to jump out of bed when the phone rings at 2:30 in the morning). Thankfully, the grand total charge for all of them is just shy of $2.50, so that's not such a big issue.
After talking to my long distance company, they've agreed to change my number and to credit me for those calls. It's not like it was hard to prove my case... I mean, how many people are going to have nearly fifty legitimate, one-minute calls from all over the United States on their 800 number?
Better still would be if they could put a PIN on the number, like my parents' old personal 800 number had. But it sounds like that sort of an option is still in the future.
For now, I've got a new phone number, and I couldn't be happier.
I'll say this one final time, and then do the happy dance of joy to be done with it: If you're trying to reach the Just For Men free sample hotline, you need to dial 1-888-202-3030.
It's so good to be free. ;)
