He Knows!!
Saturday, February 21st, 2009We had our first laugh about India today (and we haven’t even left Australia!) after sending an international SMS to a tour guide in Rajasthan. We found his details in a few blogs and wanted to check availability and cost. We sent the SMS from the web however Luke had the the actual mobile with him and was staying with friends.
Immediately after sending the SMS it seems that the driver called the number. Luke, thinking it was a wrong number (an Indian man saying he was calling back!) asked who he was calling for. The response was fast….He Knows! After a few attempts with the same response Luke changed tack…..Maybe you have the wrong number. The response….no, he contacted me on this number! Next attempt – Maybe he’s changed his number….you can understand the callers response now…he’s just received an SMS from this number, immediately called it back and this person thinks the number might have been changed – Hmmm. Luke’s last ditch effort was to say this is my number which ultimately brought about the end of the call (and probably more confusion for the Indian man!).
Oblivious to what has just occurred Stephanie called Luke a minute later to see how he was going and he told her the story only to receive laughter as she puts it together and tells him it was an international call meant for us.
We sms’d him back, this time on David’s number and 15 seconds later (you guessed it), a call but this time we knew who he was……He know’s!
