  Earlier this week, Sprint and Verizon reached multimillion-dollar settlements with federal regulators for allowing third parties to bill for unwanted and unauthorized add-on services. But when New Jersey residents tried to call the Sprint information number given out by the state’s attorney general, they were in for another telephonic surprise.

  After hearing from concerned locals, the Courier-Post called the toll-free number given out by the AG’s office in a press release, and rather than hearing the greeting of “Thank you for calling the Sprint Government Restitution Helpline,” the sexy voice on the other line told them, “You’ve definitely come to the right place.”

  “Want to get kinky one on one,” one woman on the not-Sprint hotline asked. “Or do you want to meet my girlfriends in the orgy room?”

  No, I just want to know if I’m eligible for a refund, but since you asked…

  Obviously, Sprint isn’t in such dire straits that it’s now running a phone sex business to subsidize its wireless operations. The New Jersey AG says it was just a typo that transposed a couple of numbers in the press release.

  The issue has been fixed and the number for any Sprint customer to call for more information on the bill-cramming settlement is (we checked) 877-389-8787.
