Give it to someone who isn't crew, call it from a payphone, or a separate
phone of yours.

i called the number from both my cell phone (the number i gave) and my landline (which no one could possibly know, except maybe ONI) from my cell i got the error message "the number or code you dialed is incorrect" from my landline i got the error message "it is not necessary to dial a 0 when calling this number". well good, b/c i called twice and never hit a single 0 in the string.

anyway, it's a 777 number, whatever that means. but it doesn't lead anywhere. apparently not an In Game contact number.

BWAHAHAHA. *NICE*, Bungie.

They're spoofing their Caller ID. 777 isn't a real area code.

...which, now that I think about it, means you should probably give us the number. It might mean something.

The line must be set up to not except incoming calls. The 777 means
that they obviously requested that number. If it doesn't work there
is no reason really to keep it a secret and who knows, it could mean
something.
On the other hand, I would be really pissed if was going to get a "live"
call and it couldn't go through because 1000 people were calling all at
once.

Chances are it's not the real number anyway, I'm sure they used 777-MELISSA because it's funny. I've seen that you can spoof caller ID's:
http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/04/1821202&tid=215&tid=158&tid=1

Still funny

edit: ok, I need to type faster to avoid trouting
