My life as a telephone resident of Kansas City, MO is over.
As you may remember, Sprint thought I was enough of an influencer that they made me a Sprint Ambassador back in March. [catch up on the story here and here.] Earlier this week, I started to make a call and the recording told me that I was no longer in the network.
My 6 month ambassadorship almost ran 8 months and it was a good experience except for one thing. The number. I have repeatedly said and blogged that it was ridiculous for someone in Kentucky to have a Kansas City phone number. The number limited the “influencing power” that I could have had with the phone locally. I really didn’t give out the number much except for here on the blog. Several blog readers called me which was interesting. And I used the phone almost exclusively for all my business and personal long-distance. But it would freak out the good folks here in the 270 area code when I would roll off 816-352-2009. One woman I called locally here thought I was a telemarketer when she saw my number on the caller ID.
But I will miss the phonee. It was a good run. I’ll really miss the wrong numbers from people in Kansas City. I had some good conversations with them.
