Yes! I also remember calling 8085551212 which was information for Hawaii and asking how was the weather there😂 we were easily entertained back then!

I always carried a quarter in my shoe just in case...and when I got back to school after a family visit I'd call collect my mom wouldn't accept the charges but she still knew I got home safe.

@HumanEarth I don't remember it being a dime by the time I could get myself in trouble. I think they got raised about the the comic went from 10c to 12c. I was told that since NYC had so many people depending on pay phones that it was the last place to raise the price.

No, but my friend would call a random number and claim to be from the telephone company. He would tell them that their phone cord was too short and they needed to yank on it to lengthen it. If they said it was hard to pull, he told them to yank really hard. It was a mean thing to do.

Yes, I also remember you dialed a number, held down the thing a few times until a tone...it made the phone ring.
Of course not, I don't have super powers... and of the super powers, I think only Superman was able to use his magic and make those 7 foot magical cubicles randomly appear.

But you would think, with all of his abilities and magical powers, he would at least put something over the glass so he doesn't accidentally pull his ___ out while changing!

What? I never thought of doing such a thing or receive a call just to get a ring as a message and put no money in. Never never did such things.

@HumanEarth We just paged through Golden Pages searching for random weird names and called them saying some nonsense. 😇
Lol….. that sneaky message so there’s no charge for the call. 😅
