A New Viral Trend #NumberNeighbour Is Taking Over The Internet One Digit At A Time
How did this challenge even start? Some questions even we here at Lovin Dubai don’t have the answer to.
However, no one is a stranger to this brand new circulating ‘number neighbour challenge’, surely you have seen it on your Insta, Facebook or Twitter feeds and wondered what in the name of geewiz is this new trend.
The number neighbour challenge is basically you having to shoot a text to the phone number which is same as yours BUT with the last number being one more or one less from your current digit… and then well just wait for your neighbour to text you back. (And if you’re lucky, you won’t be blocked or reported for being a creep.)
That means mobile numbers ending with a ‘9’ will only have ONE number neighbour.

These number neighbor tweets are so annoying. You got nothing better to do? Leave people alone
