Not just America; it was (is?) 123 in the UK. I'd phone it to check but that shit was crazy expensive back in the day.

jonestown
There is no time zone at the north pole?

On a side note, I recently saw a commercial for a singles phone chat line. I thought those died out when USA Up All Night did.

When I bought my N64 with my savings, there was a phone number on the back of the game box. They helped you if you got stuck in the game.
AmishBarn420RaiseIt
Oh yeah, back when you could have a power outage and then NOT HAVE ANY ACCURATE CLOCKS IN THE HOUSE, yikes!
stupidbastardinutah
We had multiple clocks that required winding. No electricity. No batteries. Good old mechanical action. Not perfect, but damn good.

This and “Hello, and welcome to Moviefone!"
StillNotYouTube
I used to use that all the time. The concept is so bizarre now that it seems like it was another life.
stupidbastardinutah
Fuck....I looked up the movie times in the newspaper. Once a week.
Superhereaux
I feel this… I feel this
doobiedoobop
You can still use your phone to check the time.
stupidbastardinutah
Most of us don't have a phone anymore. We have super computers with a phone app/function.
clpate
I remember calling it using a rotory phone at my grandparents house.
BofusTeefus
How could you be out on the street and not know what time it is?
fantabuloustimewaster
After a power outage, I would call this service to reset the electric clocks correctly.
ImakeWine
You would have to be at a phone booth.
astromoondoggie
If you were out on the street, you wouldn’t worry about the time because you didn’t want to use the payphone
fearian
if you where out on the street you couldn't call shit.
Ch3mis7
Most children don't wear watches and it was pre-cellphone.
CanuckleheadChick
Some of us wore wristwatches.
BofusTeefus
I was thinking more like a large clock around your neck, but whatev.
mikeatc
I still do (on m 57)
CanuckleheadChick
Me too. I'm 51. My 23 year old son wears a watch. He's also attached to his phone, but I taught him to tell time.
vamiaka
Back in my day, you could call a number to hear recorded jokes. This is the one hotline I’ve called this year though 719-266-2837, enjoy!

Stangsim
If you dial 204-867-5309 (Manitoba Canada area code) they have it set to automatically connect and play that song.
ILikeRespondingWithWillSmithGifs
Dude, I sang that as I read it out. You ain’t foolin my old ass!
pebbles617
Me too!
mikeatc
I use my area code and that number for my Walgreens savings award dealio. If any place asks for a phone number give that with the area code
BadSheila
I do this too!
cavymeister
If you're out of town, you can usually use the local area code and that to get the savings card discounts. Guaranteed someone else did it.
mikeatc
Exactly and actually your home area code plus that number would probably work if it’s the same chain of stores (if it works at home)
mikeatc
At Walgreens use 517.867.5309. 2 different names are associated with the #, I use George (I shit you not)
