Yahoo! News - Typo Sends Callers to Phone Sex Line: "Fri Feb 18, 5:38 PM ET
TERRACE, British Columbia - Northwest British Columbia residents who dial a toll-free number in the phone book to check highway conditions are getting a red-hot reply from the blue pages listing.
'Ummm, baby, you've dialed the right number ...,' a female voice says, followed by details that have nothing to do with roads or outdoor weather.
The listing for the British Columbia Ministry of Transport road report is off by two numbers, apparently because of a typographical error, so callers are connected to a phone sex line.
A ministry representative said the U.S. directory company that publishes the phone book failed to verify the number with the government agency. Distribution of the rest of the directories may be halted. "
