"It's easy to understand that, isn't it? When you look at me, I've got the perfect profile for a rapper," joked 54-year-old Oldham native Gerry Matley. His wife, Catriona Smith, said: "They have asked if I am his girlfriend but I think I am a bit too old, even for Soulja Boy."

According to the couple, theirs is the 12-digit number that features in the opening lines of Kiss Me Thru the Phone, which reached No 6 in the UK charts in May. The number is ex-directory, and the couple have no idea how it came to feature in the song of a 18-year-old rapper from Atlanta. "It's like winning the lottery, but we haven't got any money for it."

Despite receiving calls around the clock, sometimes as late as 3am, the couple have reacted to the bizarre event with good humour. "One of my daughter's friends thinks he's living in the loft," said Smith.

There has been no comment from Soulja Boy as to why the couple's number appears in his song or whether he has a particular fondness for Oldham.

you have to call it from a cell phone. cause after u call it it sends you a text message about joining some fan crap. it also might not work cause you’re in a different country… it doesn’t work from house phones.

ive called it before, I cant remember the number but there is a recording. I am in the United States though, and I am pretty sure it will only work in the United States.

It’s nothing to get worked up over, its just soulja boy saying hi and thanks for calling
If you want a boyfriend so bad, then I highly recommend following this https://bitly.im/aOiFX Since you’ve never dated or been kissed before, it’s going to be hard to get a boyfriend if you don’t know what to do but once you know what to do, you’ll be able to get a boyfriend pretty easily and can share your dating stories with your friends and experience those feelings yourself. You’ll even be able to attract guys you might feel is out of your league. I suggest going on a bunch of dates before choosing one guy to be your boyfriend. Have fun.
It’s a US number so it probably wouldn’t work from Australia
I wouldnt ring it if I were you, apparently it rings people back leaving messages haha!

The phone number that appears in this song is very similar to one belonging to Gerry Matley and his wife Catriona Howard Smith of Oldham, Lancashire, England. At the peak of the song's success in the UK in the summer of 2009, the couple were getting about 60 calls a day from fans hoping to talk to Soulja Boy, some even singing the song down the phone. "We just tell them that he doesn't live in Oldham," 52-year-old Ms. Howard Smith said. "They have asked if I am his girlfriend but I think I am a bit too old, even for Soulja Boy. Some of them really want to believe that they have got through to their heart-throb. They insist that we must know him in some way, we have to be 'special' to him. Some of them are devastated when we have to tell them that he doesn't live in Oldham but over the other side of the Atlantic."
