Shira Barlow’s cell phone has been flooded with wrong-number calls and text messages, mostly between 2 and 4 a.m. on weekends since landing Paris Hilton’s old cell phone number.

Barlow’s story began on Valentine’s Day during a night out with friends. She was carrying her phone in a back pocket when it fell into a toilet. When she replaced it, her wireless company insisted on assigning the San Francisco native a new number with a 310 area code rather than 415.

“Baby girl, how are you?” one man purred in a foreign accent. “Why are you doing this?” a woman asked. “This is so rude.” And there were several seemingly random references to “Paris.”

So why does Shira keep the cell phone number?

“It was really out of convenience,” she says. “I didn’t want to switch again.”
