I desperately avoid keeping any contact info on my phone, as it's so often slurped up in various ways. I also wipe all conversations frequently as standard digital hygiene. Thus, I get a lot of texts from (000) 555-1212 and I have absolutely no idea who it is, so I try to infer from the text content with .. uh.. varying levels of success.
