I remember in the early 90s other kids and I somehow knew that if you used a payphone and dialed 550-(last 4 digits of the payphone), it would call itself back and ring. Or there was some ANI (?) number where you would call and it would tell you the number you're calling from. I wonder how we knew that stuff, and where that kind of info is now....
- tenebrisalietum 3y agoThe ANI number was an MCI service and I think it still works. I used it to identify a fax line that no one knew the number to (and wasn't tagged on the 66 block in the back) a few years ago. Can't remember it though.
- Angostura 3y agoThere was a similar number combo in the UK.
