viber update not recognize my phone number

Remember the SCP Foundation? This phone number is a fun little Easter egg pegged to the fictional organization. So, if you’re feeling brave this Halloween season - or any other time of year - try giving these numbers a ring. Phone bills can quickly become one of the most frightening things of all.

They are, however, all based in the United States, so you might want to be wary of long-distance charges if you’re calling from somewhere else. I am also, you might note, still alive and well, so it’s… shall we say, unlikely that any of these numbers is actually “cursed,” “haunted,” or otherwise dangerous to call. I know, because I called every single one of them myself.

Sadly, a good deal of formerly wonderful creepy phone numbers are no longer in service (RIP, Call Carrie White) - but I can attest to the fact that the numbers seen here are in working order. Distance makes the heart grow fonder and all. What’s more, the draw of a novelty phone number might even be stronger than ever - possibly because we so rarely use our phones these days to actually, y’know, make calls. Thanks to free, online tools like Google Voice, pretty much anyone with internet access can set up a weird novelty number with ease. Novelty hotlines are nothing new indeed, I would argue that their heyday occurred during the ‘80s and ‘90s, at which time you could call everyone from Freddy Krueger to the Ninja Turtles. Their popularity began to wane during the 2000s - but interestingly, we’ve seen them evolve in the years since, too. Still, though - I will happily set aside my phone phobia in pursuit of that delightful frisson one gets from a brush with the unknown. It helps, of course, that most of these real scary phone numbers don’t require that you actually speak with anyone when you dial them, you almost always reach a voicemail box set to play a spooky recording to anyone who rings. (I am a writer, after all.) But I’m willing to make an exception for… shall we say, special cases: I am more than willing to call spooky, haunted, cursed, real creepy phone numbers that actually work. I have trouble talking to people when I can’t see who I’m talking to I’d much rather either speak face-to-face or converse in a text-base medium.
