If you receive or have received a WhatsApp message from an unknown number with the text “Hello, Number Neighbor!”, You have just been part of the new trend that has emerged in social networks these days and that has revolutionized Twitter.
What is the neighbor of number?
The neighbor number is the person who has our same phone number except for the last digit, which can be a higher or lower number than ours. Thus, to join the challenge that began on Twitter, we only have to add our own number to the agenda, changing the last figure for a higher or lower one. Example: If your number is 640225884, you have to say hello in writing to 640225885 or 640225883. The answer can be positive or negative and users are sharing the most sympathetic or even shocking conversations they have had with their respective neighbors on Twitter. “up and down”.
According to Know Your Meme , the origin of this challenge must be placed in 2018 when someone in Urban Dictionary defined “Text Door Neighbor” as “Someone who has the same phone number as you, besides the last digit” (someone who has the same number that you save the last digit). And these days it has gone viral again. One of the most striking examples is that of a Twitter user, Jamsito , who sent a text message to his neighbor on August 3 and asked his followers to do the same. This tweet is one of the most widely disseminated, as it has already exceeded 21,000 retweets and has generated a long thread of responses.
The truth is that either by following the challenge or fighting boredom, there have already been many friendships that have started thanks to the greeting of the “number neighbor” and in the ‘timeline’ of many people WhatsApp chats have appeared with messages like “do we know anything about each other?” or “how did you get my number?” Some seem to have a hard time understanding the simple explanation.
It is logical that many end up blocking their interlocutor. A text message from a neighbor of the number ended in a conversation with a paranoid recipient who was so convinced that an ex was sending him text messages that after making this point clear, he stopped answering the following messages …
One of the most commented and curious captures is that of a user who introduced himself as the “upstairs neighbor” and received the answer: “You may be mistaken as a person, because I live in an attic. I mean, taller than me. there is only god in this building. “
It is also unusual that through social networks there are people who complain that their neighbor number has not yet contacted them. And it may be that your neighbor by number does not even exist.
You’ve tried? Does the idea of talking to a perfect stranger appeal to you? You may want to start by apologizing for all the times you gave the wrong number on purpose.
