| Sep 8, 2013 at 17:33 | comment | added | joergl | I finally booked the Will Call ticket with 999-999-9999 and made the trip. No problems whatsoever and the trip was also pleasant. Just somehow I wonder if there is a poor guy somewhere in the US with that number who constantly gets calls for other people ;) | |
| Sep 3, 2013 at 7:32 | comment | added | joergl | My "fear" is that they automatically filter for classical fake numbers such as 10 nines and stop the booking or cancel it afterwards. Anyways, I'll book the ticket soon and notify how it worked out. | |

they don't "need" to - it's a workaround
