Verizon Ad Directs Callers to Sex Line

WishTV: Wrong Number Leads Verizon Customers to Adult Service

Further emphasizing the importance of proofreading your marketing initiatives, Verizon sent out a direct mail piece urging people to call a toll free number to switch their phone service to Verizon's cheaper plan. Only problem is, they wrote 888 when they should have written 800, and the result was Verizon spent all that marketing money to direct people to a tele-porno service. Whoops. Talk about feeling that you're getting screwed by the phone company.
