We did something surprisingly similar once as stupid kids/teens and it was in the days before CVV. Just touch tone to enter a card number (although we did this little experiment from a payphone using a 1-800 (toll free) sex line). Typically, you entered a card number after some initial "pitch".
AFAIK, 1-900 numbers only worked by billing you on your phone bill.

- wil421 6y agoIt was at the end of the 90s maybe 2000. Messing with pay phones or prank calling on one was another fun thing to do. The good numbers (1-900) didn’t work on pay phones. ;-) Call collect!
- wil421 6y agoHaha I guess if your credit card failed they just billed the line. His brother most likely got blamed for it.
