00:00Well, maybe she'll try that after she tries to get an old lady's phone number back

00:08Well, let's see, she's not small

00:11That's the latest problem

00:13An 80-year-old woman switched phone companies

00:16They won't give her the number she's had for 50 years

00:18I want my old number back

00:20That sounds so interesting

00:22That's all the news we can find

00:25You gotta help me, Bacon

00:26Help!

00:30Do something, right?

00:32Better call Bacon

00:33I know

00:34She's from St. Petersburg, let's listen in

00:36You have the same phone number for 50 years

00:39You get used to it, it's on everything

00:41And then suddenly you have to get a new number

00:43Yeah, it happened to a St. Petersburg woman when she changed her phone provider

00:47And when they broke the promise to let her keep her numbers that she had

00:51Her old number, her decades-old number

00:52She knew that's when she needed to call Bacon

00:54She is set in her ways

00:56Those numbers aren't big enough

00:57I tell people, do not call me on the cell phone

00:59She hates her so-called smartphone

01:02And prefers her landline

01:04And the phone number she's had for at least 50 years

01:07Look at the clock, oh big

01:08I can't see it, it's not

01:11It's on our checkbook

01:12You know our check?

01:13Makes my electric bill go through the roof

01:15That is our number

01:15But it's not her phone number right now

01:17And that's driving Patricia crazy

01:20You see, she decided to switch from Wow to Spectrum in late October

01:25The phone number was supposed to go with her

01:28Just as it has through the years when she changed providers numerous times

01:33But this time she ended up with a new number

01:36A spokeswoman for Wow got back in this afternoon

01:39And said an internal review shows that the customer information was put in incorrectly

01:43And now they've been in contact with Spectrum to fix this

01:47I will follow up to make sure

01:48I can't wait to find out what happened

01:50We don't even know, there's no resolution yet

01:53No, she can't even solve mystery

01:56She can't even fix the old lady's number

01:58No

01:58I'm sorry, Binkin

02:00He's apologizing to Binkin

02:03Yeah

02:03I don't know, I called this news floozy

02:07I figured it'd be getting fixed

02:08You've got a great reputation

02:10An old lady loses her number

02:13Not even Binkin can do anything about it

02:15I don't know what the resolution will be

02:19She showed up in some kind of floozy outfit

02:22Is that right?

02:23Boots and a tiny short skirt

02:25You've called a news floozy?

02:27Yeah, yeah

02:28All I want is my old number

02:30I've had it for 50 years

02:32What are those thousand pages that you have in front of me?

02:35These are detailed notes of every conversation I've ever had

02:39With the people from Wow and also Spectrum

02:44Oh my god

02:45They blew it

02:46And you can't get your number back no matter what you do

02:50Everything I've tried, I've tried it all

02:53Every time you call, you talk to some other foreigner

02:57Well, I'll try to get to the bottom of this for you

02:59If that news floozy can't

03:01Thank you

03:02Robert Stack

03:03It's another unsolved mysteries

03:04Someone said

03:07I'm running out of people to call

03:08To be dead serious

03:10All the time she spent trying to get a fix

03:13To have just been spent telling people

03:15Here's my new number

03:15How many people does she actually know?

03:17I know

03:18I mean, when you get a cell phone for the first time

03:21They give you enough

03:22Like, you know what I mean?

03:23If you have a cell phone

03:24It seems like you can transfer the number

03:26Yeah

03:27But I don't think I could transfer my home landline number

03:31To a cell phone

03:33I don't know

03:34I guess I never tried it

03:35A hundred years ago when I could have

03:38Be what she's trying to do

03:39But it's on her checks

03:40I know

03:41That's what she said

03:42That's right

03:43You can order new checks

03:46Out of the world

03:47People are going to be so confused

03:49Can we send her the 17 bucks to order new checks?

03:51Is that a scroll you have?

03:54Is that your old phone bill?

03:55You shouldn't have it on there

03:57It's my original AT&T

03:59It's on parchment paper

04:01Yeah, uh-huh

04:02I knew Alexander Graham Bell

04:04He gave me the first number

04:08Yeah

04:21That's an interesting number

04:23That's one of the first that was ever invented

04:26Yeah

04:26Yeah, they don't give them out like that anymore

04:29But I want it

04:30Apparently they say I can't get

04:50I doubt that I can even though I'm a ghost

04:53Get a whore of boots on

04:55Sucks to get old

04:58Oh my god

04:59That story just made me feel really bad

05:02The clock on her nightstand was the size of a billboard

05:06It really was

05:07You could get radiation poison

05:08I think so

05:09Like I could see it was 1104 if that was three miles away

05:13It lights up her whole house

05:14She had all of her food all out on her counter

05:17So she just gets right there

05:19Easy access

05:21No region

05:22No

05:24Yeah, they were big buttons on her phone
