And international as I got this with my current number - which was the listed fax number for a local company.
As in - listed on the mail and business cards they were still sending out three years later.
I had a new baby when I got that number and it would ring up to 18 times a day on the 20th of the month waking her, I didn’t have a fax machine so I’d get all the repeat calls as their machines kept trying and trying and trying.
Occasionally I’d get an irate person ring up to insist that I turn the fax machine on. They were usually frustrated and abusive by that stage and for some reason, refused to believe that I was not the business they were attempting to call.
I called my phone service provider, who said they could not help without a $60 change of numer fee.
I called the company secretary who in a very bored tone, said she’d sort it out.
The calls stopped for a couple/ three months and then started again (new stationary print run, apparently - old phone numbers)

Repitition is not an accident.
I called the manager of the comany and gently pointed out that every single customer who called me, ended up sharing my opinion that his company was a pack of useless, braindead morons who couldn’t be trusted to get a simple phone number right.
Not one single call since.
Wish I’d thought of that earlier.
