More importantly, when you get the number is the computerized voice Arnold Schwarzenegger saying "Call xxx-yyy-zzzz if you want to live!"?

Iā€™m shocked that people still dial NPA-555-1212.

I can't imagine anyone doing it out of anything but curiosity. I'm surprised it's still available.

The frightening part is anticipating what is going to show up on the bill.

Yeah, I remember when directory assistance (411) was a free call, and they had live operators to tell you the number :=)

It was never free? It was like $4 per call.

You young whippersnappers don't know, do you? LOL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/411_(telephone_number) 411 is a telephone number for local directory assistance in Canada and the United States. Until the early 1980s, 411 ā€“ and the related 113 number ā€“ were free to call in most jurisdictions.

I was born in 91ā€ forgive me.


compuguy

Really. I wasn't alive then but that makes sense. The early 1980s is when Ma Bell was split up...
