Bit strange, 0790 numbers?

FosterK · 13 Nov 2008 at 12:21

Just had two texts from a number I don't recognise - 0790 *** ****
First: "How many peaches are there in a plum pie?"
Second: "How many cookies are there in a batch?"

No-one seems to recognise the number, and I've not replied 'cause I'm sure 0790 is a high-toll number.

Anyone know anything, or am I just being paranoid?

Aye, suppose it could be actually.. but our VOIP number starts like that iirc

There should be no peaches in a plum pie for starters.

The number of cookies in a batch will be dependant on the quantity of dough and the size of the cookies that you are making.

I would phone back and verbally explain this to whoever answers...their culinary understanding is really quite shoddy.

Weird.

So I've just got some random texting me? Fun times.

Edit: Brilliant idea Mook

time to start a text war surely?!

my number starts 07900 so its a normal number.

But btw, How many peaches are actually in a plum pie?

Ask if a 'plum pie' is the correct collective noun for a group of peaches

0790 are premium numbers, I'm fairly sure as when I was looking at new contracts the other day I was pointed out in the shop that included minutes don't include 0790.
