I have recently had an idea about putting my mobile phone number at the top of my autograph request letters, just under my address.
I was wondering if anybody has done this before and if so, have you ever had a phone call from them? 
Thanks

I don't add my # to my letters. Maybe i should.
I spoke to: Barbara Eden, Burt Young, Bea Arthur, Wayne Newton, Len Lesser, and Thea White that i can name off the top of my head. Maybe the longest convo i had was ten minutes. Not very long

I've not received any phone calls from celebs, but I have talked with a few that I called. I also put my phone number and email address at the top fo my letterhead so if they want to contact me they can. I have gotten many email replies saying 'Thanks for being a fan' and letting me know that they've signed my items and to be watching for them to arrive.

They weren't very popular for long, but there was a Canadian group by the name of Velvet Empire that was put together through one of those 'making the band' shows. I wrote them a letter via venue and put my phone number at the bottom, and I actually got a call from the band member I addressed the letter to. You shoulda seen the look on my face, haha. I was like, 17 and it was a DREAM!
He said my letter was really sweet and that an autographed photo of the band would be on its way... the band actually broke up before I ever got my photo
But still, it was a really cool moment at the time.
I'm not sure why I used to put my # in my letters.. but I used to do it all the time when I first started collecting. Then I'd get insulted that no one would actually call, so I stopped
