Can you look up random phone numbers?
Is it legal to call random numbers?
What is a fictional 555 phone number?
Can we assemble a master list of ND phone numbers and what they spell out?
For example:
Bess: -4468 = hint
Ned: -4357 = help
George: -2583 = clue
But what about others?
I’m currently playing White Wolf, so here are my contributions:
Tino Balducci: -5375 = jerk
Chantal (ICE): -2274 = cash
Since we have the occasional post here asking for sample numbers to call/text to keep accounts alive, I thought I'd post a list of a few novelty numbers you can call. Just a bit of fun.
719-266-2837 (719-26-OATES) - "Callin' Oates: Your emergency Hall & Oates hotline" - Plays a Hall & Oates song of you your choice.
304-867-5309 - Plays Tommy Tutone's "867-5309/Jenny". Also works with area code 517 and 567.
630-847-5241 - A choose-your-own-adventure game you can play using a touch-tone phone.
804-222-1111 - A test calling service featuring an echoback test, touch tone test, and 1000hz tone playback test.
800-437-7950 - MCI's ANAC number; will read back the calling number (your number) to you. (thanks u/P7BinSD. Added 4/10/24)
If you know any more, please share!
Howdy from Albania. I tried to google this but I wasn't sure how to phrase it and I have always been curious. A lot of the time in American movies and TVs you'll see ads with phone numbers like 1-800-CABLETV or 1-800-TRUCKS.
Are these real numbers or do they use them so they don't show numbers that could be real? How would you go about calling them?
Usually you see it for taxis and stuff.
I imagine with old phone keyboards it was "press number 5 3 times to get "t") or sth?
Hey, I just started watching 21 bridges and I noticed something that I've seen a lot in movies
In this case, the cops shut down Manhattan and a billboard shows something like
"Police lockdown. For information call xxxx-xxxxx-tips"
I've seen this in infomertials and a lot of other shows
Hoe do you call that "number"?
