The Dead Number Project

Your loved one had a phone number that you used to text them, call them, hear their voice.

When the person died, the number was recycled into the stream.

But the current living bearer of your loved one’s dead number knows nothing of the number’s past.

Let’s change that.

Let’s extend the second life of the dead through a simple creative gesture.

Fill out the form with the name of your dead loved one, their number, and a message you’d like to pass on to the number’s current holder.

We will gather all of this information and begin to send the messages, texting and calling each dead number, spreading a simple message.

For example: “Hi. You don’t know this, but the person who had this number before you was named _________. He/She/They was/were a gentle man. Very tall. We wanted to let you know that a small part of him lives on in your daily life every time someone calls you or texts you.”
