I feel like this is a song reference 🤔.

Might be before my time though 😅 🤷‍♂️.

Now we ask Alexa 😅

was just telling the kids about this #dadstr

There used to be a phone number to call to hear a Hall & Oates song. It finally shut down a month ago after running since 2011.

I distinctly remember you could set an alarm clock too that would ring your phone at the appointed time.

Hello, operator? Can you please connect me with the person in town x? Phone number? Well, yes I do have a number. Who's calling? It's his old friend calling him. Wait on the line? Ok thank you.

Yeees !!! I remember !!!! Many years ago at granny apartment !! It was a men that tells you the hr , the min and the seconds and when finish tells you "thanks for calling" !!

Actually it would also tell you the temperature. It was called time and temperature.

Believe it or not...

You can just type things.

I seem to remember it was: 1411??

But that was a LONG time ago.

I always liked the skit from radio's Goon Show. A character asks Eccles, "What time is it, Eccles?" And Eccles answers, "Hold on, I wrote it down a while ago -- here it is; it's 4:32."

Do people not know about 555-1212?

Apparently that doesn't exist anymore, but the modern day equilivant is (303) 499-7111

130

And that shit was so expensive, too.

867-5309?
