If during this holiday season you are planning to celebrate by heavily consuming alcoholic beverages at parties, boy, do we have a cell phone service for you.
Virgin Mobile has a new service that lets its customers, before going to a party, dial in a code plus a phone number that they don't want to call when drunk. For a nominal fee of 25 cents, Virgin Mobil will then stop all calls to that number by putting it on a blacklist until 6:00 AM the following day.
The service came into being when a survey conducted by Virgin Mobile showed that 95% of the people surveyed admitted to making drunken phone calls that they were later sorry they had made. Those calls included 30% to ex-partners and spouses, 19% to current partners and spouses, and 36% to other folks, including their bosses.
