I have a free American phone number.

I applied for an American toll-free number online when I was bored abroad. It was really free. Calls to the United States and Canada (country code+1) are unlimited and free. I was excited for several days when I first applied. Try to contact my only American friend at this number. Good call quality, unlimited text messages. It's all free. I was happy to apply for one for Mr. Wang, because he wanted to contact American customers by phone. Why not do it for free?

Later, I found that such a free number needs to be used from time to time, otherwise it will expire and cancel your service directly. When I'm not using it, I hang my number on the Internet, just to keep it active, so that I can provide the number and call service for free. How do they make money? Later, I learned that people's companies collect money from advertisers. This virtual American number, many advertising calls come in, and it is normal to have three or five calls a day. And because of the time difference, people who live in the east longitude of the earth will receive their calls in the middle of the night, and Mr. Wang is idle because he is bored.

But I didn't give up. I got into the habit of mute my cell phone before going to bed a long time ago, so advertising calls don't bother me. Mainly unwilling, even if it's just a virtual number, it seems that everything left behind has a place to put it. Remind yourself from time to time: I once had an American dream! It's broken.
