"Kiss Me thru the Phone" is a song by American rapper Soulja Boy featuring American singer Sammie. Written by the former alongside David Siegel and producer Jim Jonsin, it was released on November 26, 2008,[2] as the second single from his 2008 album, iSouljaBoyTellem. It was the best-selling single from the album, reaching number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, number one on the U.S. Rap Charts, the top 10 in the United Kingdom, in Canada, on the U.S. Billboard Pop 100, and in New Zealand.

R&B singer Chris Brown was Soulja Boy's first choice to sing the hook, but Brown turned down the offer. Soulja Boy then tried to sing it on his own with Auto-Tune but found it "garbage", and ended up collaborating with Sammie.[3] "Kiss Me thru The Phone" was 2009's eighth best selling single with over 5.7 million copies sold worldwide.[4]

Telephone number

[edit]

The telephone number, (678) 999-8212, given in the song, if dialed from the United States, previously connected to a message system for the artist; the number now belongs to an unknown commercial advertiser in Georgia.[citation needed] An unsuspecting family in Greater Manchester, England found themselves inundated with calls from Soulja Boy fans there who dialed the number.[45][46]
