12 Days of Viral – DAY NINE Scott Caldwell, December 21, 2009December 20, 2009 On the ninth day of viral, my movie gave to me….. Cell phones for calling Back on day five, I talked about 800 numbers that you could call and get some information. This one goes about twenty steps further and actually gives you a phone. Some can be simple, others can incorporate different ways to get that phone into your hand. If you remember, back towards the end of the 2012 campaign, they had numerous drop sites all over the country.
