Speaking of voicemail, remember when we had to call in to check our messages?

huh? what?

Um…

That doesn’t sound familiar at all 🤔

We had a phone number to call that would tell you how many voice messages you had waiting and let you listen to them. You could even respond to them by recording another message and sending it back.

I’ve never ever sent or received a voice message on my phone, wasn’t ever a thing 🤷‍♂️💜

Bruh.

Did you know we use to call a number to find out the movie times as the movie theater?

“Helllllo… and welcome to moviefone! If you know the name of your movie… press 1 now”

You could also call for the time and date, sometimes even the weather.

stoppp this is a meme right?

No seriousness

Absolute truth. This happened in the 90s before the Internet.

We didn’t even have 911 yet. You had to KNOW the phone number of the local fire department or call the operator to connect you in an emergency.

Facts. God,,, how did we survive?

Many didn’t. It was a wild time.

Parents didn’t know where their kids were, like ever. If you were out late you had to call your parents at home and let them know where you were or there would be trouble…!

That’s were meme comes from, cause it’s real

Doesn’t feel real 🤣💜

Not a meme. The reality of my childhood. 😂 moviefone and checking the movie times in the newspaper.

This sounds so crazy to me, I was born in 99 😂💜

To be honest, it was awesome. Meeting friends was an adventure every time. You’d call (on the landline) decide when and where to meet, and then venture out into the world with no means of communication until you returned home, unless you count the odd pay phone (which you never had change for anyway).

Sounds amazing honestly, I didn’t have a phone before 1st grade, and that’s what I can really compare it to 🤷‍♂️💜

1st grade?! 🤣🤣 I can’t relate

hahahahaha stoppp

Kids these days 😂

Hahahahaha 😂💜

Omg… Kids.

The movie.

Nope not today 💀

My son saw a pay phone on a street for the 1st time a few months ago and was super excited for me to show him how to use it, unbelievable 🤣

🤣🤣 did you troll him with a fake walkthrough of how it works?

Got him to call my mobile from it 🤣

Man, that was a movie.

So true

WAIT WHAT????

Movie times were in the newspaper or you would call that number 😂

Remember TV Guide? How else would you know what was on your four channels?

“Hello, and welcome to Moviefone!”

YES🤣🤣

No wayyyy

Yesss wayyyyy

🤯🤯🤯

In Canada you could press *69 to figure out the number that just called you, instead of call display.

That was in the states too.

Same in the US but you could also dial another code to block that before you called someone.

*67 duh

R.E.M. had a song called Star 69 about that.

Hahahahahahahaah this is soooo goofy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Times were simpler then.

There was no caller ID on a house phone.

So someone like you would thrive.

You couldn’t screen the call or make people text you. People would have to answer to see who it was 🤣

I would’ve been the best salesman ever then 💜😂

I loved doing all the prank calls 🤣

Go listen to the Jerky Boys. NOW #[8]​ !

Same response. Lol. Nice

“I’ll bring all my shoes, and my glasses. So I have them.”

Hahahahah, who in their right mind calss themselves Jerky Boys 🤣💜

They weren’t! It was awesome.

Wasn’t Radiohead’s album called Pablo Honey a tribute to them?

Okay don’t kill me for this
