Hoax – 'Your Cell Phone Has a Name' – Hoax-Slayer

Outline

Message circulating on Facebook claims that entering the last three digits of your cell phone number into a Facebook comment will reveal the “name” of your cell phone.  




Brief Analysis

Entering the last three digits of your phone number in the way described  will  indeed reveal a name. However, it is  not  the name of your phone. Every Facebook profile has a unique identification number. Entering the number and code in the way described in the message displays the name of the Facebook user with that identification number. Thus, the message is just a prank, albeit a rather interesting one.
