I just got a new phone and number. I am thinking it would be wise to introduce myself to my number neighbour?
Have any of you guys done it before?
How do you stay safe if you are textually active with your number neighbour?
What is a 'Number Neighbour'?
It's a person that has a phone number that's immediately before or after yours in sequence
So if your number is 0422 333 444, your number neighbor is 0422 333 443 & 0422 333 445
Hang on will need to make a new post to ask
Is it close to mine? 04XX 069 420
No, but thats a good number
I will call in you in less than 100 minutes assuming a productivity rate of 1 call a minute.
Nice
I wish I understood the question. I was going to ask ChatGPT, but I anticipate being very disappointed with the answer as I would have wasted my time.

wow, thanks for saving me from looking that up. How is this a thing though…?
When you ran out of swipes
Did you just call me?
Who has hijacked Mintee’s account?
Contact your OZB ID neighbors.
MIne are safenade and FatCheese and neither have made any comments since joining. They are hermits going their own way.
My friend in high school was my number neighbour so I guess I have
It sounds like that's how good number neighbors become good friends.
I dunno. Are you sad that your number neighbours haven't called you?
They probably haven't seen that I have moved in so I don't blame them.
OP expects just in case if they both are cheap or free available chicks (or at least one of them). This is an old cheap trick.
Not even on my mind as likely they are physically far far away. I assume we are neighbors by number only, not by location.
Number Neighbors
Number Neighbours
Thanks. Fixed. It was that at the start then I saw somebody write it without 'U' and I thought I was wrong…
The (profanity). This is the creepiest/weirdest shit I've read in a while.
I'd assume if a random stranger starts texting me it'll be a scam with someone trying to get close to me to then start buying crypto or shit. I. E., pig butchering.
What is the actual point of that?
Oh totally, why stop at the neighbour? Let’s just text the whole phonebook while we’re at it.
“Hi, you don’t know me, but your number vaguely resembles mine."
Next step: start a group chat with every number from 0422 333 400 to 0422 333 499 and call it The 223334 Digit District.
If you message everyone in a number block, its a block party.
You seriously need to lighten up in life 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Stay weird, OzBargain.
Seriously, who does this?
“Oh, hi number neighbour… if you get any bank verification sms for me by accident, can i just get you to pop them over to my number… thanks so much…”
This is @kaybrr, aka Happy Dude. The court is making me call everybody back and apologize for my telemarketing scam. I'm sorry. If you can find it in your heart to forgive me, send one dollar to Sorry Dude, 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield. You have the power.
I live 20 minutes from "A" Springfield.
I'm so tempted to check Google maps and see it's the one that has Evergreen Terrace.
If there is a nuclear powerplant there, and you live in Shelbyville, you probably don't even need to check.
Sorry to my number neighbour who probably got messages from people in the 00s wanting to catch up after a night out.
Karma got me though - had a “How’s your day treating you today?” from an unknown number recently
Back in the days of landlines, our home number was a digit swap from an Aussie software company. People were impressed and disturbed by a wrong number dial not only guessing who they wanted, I'd give them the correct number.
YOU are truly a great number neighbour.
I learned something new today!
No
There are usually 8 digits after the 04.
So any of the 8 digits combo can be your neighbours.
Say you have 0422 333 444. These numbers below can also be your neighbours… 0412 333 444, 0421 333 444, 0422 233 444 and so on. Why not call them all up and introduce yourself?
You make a point about anyone being able to meet your neighbour, but I take it like house number neighbours where only the numbers directly next to yours are your next door neighbours and everybody else just is in the neighbourhood.
Say you have 0422 333 444… , 0422 233 444 and so on.
Call yourself and you invoke the darkest timeline.
-looks at world-
Okay who's the wise guy?
And look for more people to talk to?
I think not.
Plus, one of my "number neighbours" is my mother O.o
No way, what a coincidence and always easy to remember!
I got a text from a number neighbour once saying "Hi, we are number neighbours"
I still don't know what the point of it was to this day.
It's not too late to reply… Do it, a number neighbour is just a friend you haven't met

🤦♂️
Just when I thought we'd reached peak stupid…

Yes, where possible.

I really hope it's not me!
I hope it is! We could talk about my plans to travel to Steep Point, then onto Denmark. Maybe if you're in the area we could have lunch and a OzBargain meetup.
this post is a waste of the storage and bandwidth it needs to take up on ozbargain servers
Let me give you some advise
Use a spell-checker before hitting 'Post Comment'?
Thank you for your advise
I advise you to take my advice.
Who made this a thing? This isn’t a thing. Stop trying to make it happen.
It's a thing already.
Well it's lame. Stop trying to make it happen.
farts on your face
Why not do something useful instead?
