Talk about famous phone faux pas! In recent news, teen heart throb (or nightmare — because there’s no middle ground — you’re either a Belieber, or you’re not a Belieber) Justin Bieber tweeted the message “Call me right now” with a 214 area code phone number. Though the tweet was ultimately deleted, and the last digit was omitted and instead included a “?”, Bieber fans spotted the post and within seconds it was retweeted over and over again. Fans began guessing at the last digit, and by the end of the night, a Dallas man had received over a thousand phone calls on the phone number that he’s held for over 20 years.

Prior to this incident, Bieber had been known to play other phone pranks. Last year, he posted the phone number of 15-year old Kevin Kristopic, who had hacked into the Facebook account of a friend of his in order to get Bieber’s phone number. Bieber posted the 15-year old’s phone number in retaliation, urging his fans to call and text him. Kristopic received over 26,000 calls and texts and ultimately had to cancel his phone number. Can you Beliebe that??
