Adult chat line sending models to Westport after town bombarded with calls meant for Babestation
Babestation apologised both to disappointed callers who made the calls and Westport residents who received them.
AN ADULT TV station in the UK has apologised to the people of Westport after a phone number mix up led to the town’s residents being bombarded with calls for the late night chat line.
The mix up happened when Irish viewers didn’t enter the UK international calling code before dialling and were instead directed to Westport locals.
Babestation is now planning to send two models to the Mayo town on Thursday to talk to residents.
In a statement the adult TV station apologised both to disappointed callers who reached Mayo locals rather than ‘one of the Babestation girls’, and Westport residents who received the calls.
“It is Babestations’ understanding, through both the recent media coverage, and contact with a number of professional bodies, that there may have been unintentional calls made to residents of Westport.
Babestation recognise this as an innocent misunderstanding and they are extremely aware that disappointed callers in Ireland, whose intention it was to speak to one of the Babestation girls, may have inadvertently reached homes on the west coast of Ireland.
They also recognise the impact that this has had on those that may have received these calls, and would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
“Babestation are keen to stress, and will continue to do so publicly, that when dialling a UK number, the ‘0’ should be replaced by ’00 44’.
“As a show of support and recognition, Babestation, and two of their models, will be visiting Westport on 26 January at around 2pm to speak to residents and local people.”
