Washington, Dec 12 : Actor Jeremy Piven is reeling after his cell phone erased a personal message from US President-elect Barack Obama that included his personal phone number.

Obama had sent a thank you message to the ‘Entourage’ star for his election campaign along with his five numbers, which got deleted from the actor’s Blackberry.

“I was lucky to stump for Barack in Indiana and to introduce him in Chicago. Barack left me five numbers. It was the greatest voicemail that I''ve gotten in my life by the way... I saved it and I went back to listen to it and my BlackBerry had erased all of Barack Obama''s phone numbers,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

“Then when I called back to try to tell them, ''Can I get Barack''s number? He left it for me.'' They didn''t believe me and I now have nothing and I''ve been trying to find him," he added. (ANI)
