It's my dad's work number.

The 416 area code is for Toronto, Canada.

awesome prank :).  Used it much..LOL

Raised Hell with Verizon.  Oops.

i rec'd a text msg from my friend as well saying to call this # 416-640-5050; and it was a stupid sex line. I ended up with a $0.49 cent international charge on my bill. I am not happy...

I got charged too. My friend texted me and told me to call him at that number, it was an emergency. I thought it was funny until I got the bill. I cant wait to talk to him. He'll be paying that.
Now I know to stay away from 416 area code.

Got sent to my husbands phone from a friend who had a pre paid phone. Cost us 49 cents. He deleted the txt so I'm not sure what it said.

My boyfriend's friend tricked him too. The number itself didn't charge, but we had a charge on our cell phone for a long distance call to Canada.

it was .20 cents on the bill.. wow i found this on my boyfriends phone.. i guess he has some explaining to do...

Got a text message from a random phone # saying "I need to talk to you about some stuff that went down andd your name came up.  Phone about to die.  Call me at 416-640-5050 when you have a second."  It sounded strange, so I looked it up and realized it is bologna.  Never called the number.

Same deal here as others.  Same cell battery dying story via txt msg.  Call cannot be completed as dialed.  Friend called when I txted him its a wrong number and he got thru.  Gay chat line.

Mine came directly from my friend's phone. He uses a pre-paid wireless service. So I don't know if they're scamming or what.  He couldn't have sent the text because everything was spelled correctly, and perfectly punctuated.  He's not the most educated sort of fellow.

416-640-XXXX is a landline in Toronto, ON (CANADA) - Since I got the text from a friend's phone (who can't spell) I assumed someone was hacking his SCAM of a PRE-PAID Phone Company.  I called the number from my house phone since I have unlimited Canada Calling on the landline (not the cell)
All I got was "Your call can't be completed"

Got a txt from an area code I just moved from, but my new phone didnt recognize the number. Found this odd at first, searched the number and bingo bango here I am. Thanks for posting this yall, saved me the trouble of calling this number back!

Nothing but a stupid gay homo fricken chat line

Got a text from a friend's number with this number to call, saying battery was gonna die... call my friend's number at ...

Moral to the story, it can't serious because the message was preceeded by a FWD: which means it's SMS spam.

me too. not funny nor cool.

Looked it up before calling as well, thanks for the info everyone.

same dont call back

THEY CLAIM THE # IS 416*640*5054 AND 5050 YOU WROTE DOWN WRONG

Same here phone was dying thing.  Good thing I looked it up before I called it.  Thanks for posting

I got the same message so i looked it up and saw this site so i never even called it.

I also got this message! "some sh*t went down and your name came up ... my phone's dying, call me back at this number ..."  416-640-5050.. I did not call because the message was kinda long - why not just call me from his friend's phone instead???   dont be fooled ...

got a text message from my ex girlfriend saying the same thing, "some s*** went down and your name came up ... my phone's dying, call me back at this number ..."

this is a prank #, don't be stupid enough to even call it...
my friends # came up & said his cell was dying and to call this #... YAY RIGHT!

a person who I thought was a friend text me this crap.  It was real crappy of them.  I will never talk to them again.  How much do you get charged for something like this?

Its usually used as an April's fool joke, like someone will say hey call me back at this number and when you do, you end up on the gay chat

f****ng some a***ole at 647-2957567 text me that number and said its his new number when i called it was the chat

do you get charged for callin this number?
