The 90s Aesthetic was nice but things were the same

In 97' me and my siblings were home alone one evening, and we got call after call to our home phone from an unknown number, every time we answered we could only hear loud, deep, heavy breathing, naturally we panicked and made sure all the doors and windows were locked so we could listen & wait for our mother to get home. Turns out it was my mother's new squeeze unknowingly leaning on his old school mobile, speed dialling us over and over while he ate a takeaway like an orc.

Someone once called me at like 7:30 in the morning before I went to work. I answered because the number had tried to call the previous day but I didn't pick up. They called and sounded like they were choking to death on the other end. I called back with no response and left a strongly worded voicemail and then proceeded to call the non-emergency dispatch line in my small town. Later the number called back again. It was a 11 year old kid who told me that someone was "using their phone number to do prank calls" and got spooked because the police came to their house to check out of their was an issue (I guess they found the location from the phone number I gave to dispatch). Never got another prank call from that number (wonder why!)

I worked in telecoms in UK, we used to play a 'screamer' tone automatically if a phone was left off the hook for a long time. The idea was, by attracting attention to the noise, the subscriber would get irritated and hang up the call. I assume 1-800 numbers have to pay something to their phone provider despite giving free calls to incoming calls. Perhaps this was to prevent the 0800 number accruing unnecessary charges for incoming calls..?

I worked at a hospital in the 90's in NM, but very close to the AZ border. They installed a 1-800 number so patients calling from AZ wouldn't have to pay long distance fees. At some point,, someone hijacked the number and was using it as a porn line. I once had an angry patient who came in and complained that he tried to call for a doctors appointment, but he got a woman named Candi who talked dirty to him. One of the nurses called the number and sure enough, Candi answered on the first ring! I love these phone mysteries.

Dang, I'm not familiar with the number but that telemarketer theory sounds pretty spot on to me. The 90's way of collecting data and selling it to other companies. Hope everyone watching this video is having a lovely night though. You're a huge inspiration to me and my little horror channel, much love 🤍🤍

I found this on a comments section in an article about the number: I can explain to you exactly what this was all about. Around 1995 my uncle who is Lebanese(not Indian) worked/volunteer for the PGA. At that time members of the PGA decided to pay for a hot line where you could call and receive golf tips from around a hundred PGA members that were attending the Tommy Armour Teaching and Coaching and Summit in New Orleans that year. The line was active but for about a week until the board received a massive bill for all the toll free calls made that week. No one wanted to pay the bill and it remained in dispute for years. Now the message you hear is my uncle testing the line when it was initially set up. At the time you had to record numerous prompts so you can direct the callers what numbers to press. Upon filling the dispute, the phone company removed all the prompts and deactivated the numbers you can press and it defaulted to his initial test recording. now the funny part. My Uncle originally lived in Canada, his credit and address was based in Canada and he was the one that volunteered to apply for the account. After the bill was disputed we realized that if you called the number on certain regions in Canada, you would hear him counting and if you didn’t hang up you’d hear a screech that was actually the original recording being rewound. The phone company on paper deemed the number out of service and paid no attention to the voicemail millions of people heard. Prior to the summit the PGA board talked numerous outlets in both Canada and the states to print the number for free as an upcoming promotion and that’s why the number was posted in many papers and even on some billboards. in 1996 people caught on about this and rumors began to spread. Many college newspapers printed the number in ominous looking adverts as pranks and it went on for several years until the number was sold to a bulk dialer that was previously a bulk 976 erotic for pay number. My Uncles name was Basem, there was nothing ominous about the number, it was an ongoing topic in our family for years and then forgotten about until someone sent me the link to this.”

I was a teenager in the 90s but I don't remember this at all. It's definitely possible I heard about it but didn't make a lasting impression on me.

As a kid, I remember calling a "Santa Claus" hotline at christmas time. It was a flat rate call, where you got a new message from Santa each day leading up to Christmas. My parents let me call, and I remember staying on the line after the message ended for a few minutes. The line started beeping loudly, and then creepy recorded voices came on screaming "hang up the phone, hang up the phone!..." . They wanted to scare kids off the line, even if they put the phone down to free up the number for another caller.

There used to be so many fun pre recorded lines you could call. I don’t remember the name, but there was one for giving giving out as a wrong number if you didn’t want to give your real one to someone, and there was also one to give people that would tell them they had bad breath 😂 Those were from like 2007-2010 though, not the 90s.

I definitely think the last theory is more plausible. As it is, when you answer spam numbers nowadays, you'll end up with even more phonecalls so it'd make sense that before the age of random generated phone number algorithms, they'd come up with something more sneaky.

"Siren" at the end was common from landline companies, once the call content was terminated. As it was a free phone number, the termination comes from the server side.

This sound was especially loud, probably so that you could hear it from relatively far away since you may have set the receiver down wrong, missing the buttons that actually disconnected you from the system, and wandered off. (Sorry if that sounded confusing. I didn’t realize how alien an old telephone might be to some readers until I had already started this.) This automatic off-hook sound was actually an improvement. In the olden times, when there was a human operator making the connection between the two callers, some poor lady (operators were almost always female - my mother was one in fact) had to scream as loud as she could “Hey, you left your phone off the hook! HANG UP YOUR PHONE!”

Jody Owen Knowing my Mom, she probably didn’t miss a thing. Though she likely only shared the best stuff with her friends, so yeah, relatively discrete :-) I was only a kid, actually, so I wasn’t involved in the phone-company-employee surveillance. We did, however, have a party-line for much of my childhood. This was an occasional source of entertainment, but was usually pretty boring. Of course, it became more significant the day I cut the end of my thumb off and the neighbors wouldn’t get off the line so we could call an ambulance. But we kept pressure on it and by the time the line was free, most of the bleeding had stopped. A few stitches and I was good as new.

There is an alternative hypothesis. Espionage. There used to be radio broadcasts that were just a list of numbers and were used to secretly communicate encrypted messages to spies without leaving traces. This could be a similar thing, and the pauses could be significant for the decryption. Although it does beg the question of why it was advertised on a billboard. Perhaps counter espionage or to intentionally make lots of people use it, so that individual spies couldn't be identified.

im a mid 80s baby so i was a kid in the 90s, me and my friends called our share of random 1800 numbers... if it spelt a word there was a 1800 number attached to it, sometimes they were just place holders in the hopes that someone would want that number and would buy it from the owner. IMO thats what this was, much like people buy websites today and then resell them when the URL becomes relevant to another entity.

Apropos of nothing: 🌈imagine a world with NO billboards 🌈 I have NEVER made one choice based on what I saw on a billboard 🙄

I found this after two minutes of googling- I can explain to you exactly what this was all about. Around 1995 my uncle who is Lebanese(not Indian) worked/volunteer for the PGA. At that time members of the PGA decided to pay for a hot line where you could call and receive golf tips from around a hundred PGA members that were attending the Tommy Armour Teaching and Coaching and Summit in New Orleans that year. The line was active but for about a week until the board received a massive bill for all the toll free calls made that week. No one wanted to pay the bill and it remained in dispute for years. Now the message you hear is my uncle testing the line when it was initially set up. At the time you had to record numerous prompts so you can direct the callers what numbers to press. Upon filling the dispute, the phone company removed all the prompts and deactivated the numbers you can press and it defaulted to his initial test recording. now the funny part. My Uncle originally lived in Canada, his credit and address was based in Canada and he was the one that volunteered to apply for the account. After the bill was disputed we realized that if you called the number on certain regions in Canada, you would hear him counting and if you didn’t hang up you’d hear a screech that was actually the original recording being rewound. The phone company on paper deemed the number out of service and paid no attention to the voicemail millions of people heard. Prior to the summit the PGA board talked numerous outlets in both Canada and the states to print the number for free as an upcoming promotion and that’s why the number was posted in many papers and even on some billboards. in 1996 people caught on about this and rumors began to spread. Many college newspapers printed the number in ominous looking adverts as pranks and it went on for several years until the number was sold to a bulk dialer that was previously a bulk 976 erotic for pay number. My Uncles name was Basem, there was nothing ominous about the number, it was an ongoing topic in our family for years and then forgotten about. Claims someone called Sam Lutfi

Green Rainbow me neither i just remembered the video in that instant lol

We had a landline phone in the 90s and we kept playing it as kids. I still remember talking to strangers on a "crossline" and "partyline" traffic. Fortunately all the conversations I had with adults were wholesome and I never came across weirdos. There was also a phone number back then and they said it led to a haunted house or a nonexistent place inhabited by ghosts. At daytime it doesn't work it comes off with a Busy tone or Not In Service tone but if you call starting around 12 midnight a ghostly voice answers and some say if you linger long enough it will mention the address were you live. They said it works and some ghostly voice answers the phone. I dialed it in the afternoon instead. The first tries was a busy tone as expected the last try I just heard someone picked up the phone but did not say anything seems like waiting for me to say Hello first and all I can hear was this old time music in the background. I immediately put the phone down and never called again.

I just found your channel today and I have watched every single of your videos, wish there was more but its the best quality I have ever seen. Definitely was surprised that your videos were so interesting because I didnt see most of those topics in any other channel that I have watched. Very original.

Never even heard of it. But I agree with your idea on the marketing tactic, or a combo marketing/social experiment tactic, to not only gather numbers to sell later, but to see how fast word of mouth actually can be. Also, the demographic of age groups and perhaps whether there were more males or females calling the number. How many times did any given number call vs one-shot callers who couldn't care less about it. Maybe the theater was part of it, since folks likely said the number was on the billboard across from the Bijou/Lincoln theater, thus part of the word of mouth advertising.

spoiler: unless you lived in a very specific part of canada in the 90's (and by specific i mean a tiny town ive never heard of in my life) this will mean nothing to you.
