Who I have the same questioned this solution

We want you and your brother to be able to communicate with each other whenever you need to Perplexed_in_IL. This certainly isn’t a common error, but I have heard of it before. What zip code are you in? Are you and your brother on the same account? What make/model phones do you both use? And finally, how are you dialing his phone number?
