Remember the days of the 900 number? Where you could call and get gossip on celebrities, talk dirty to someone, listen to recorded messages from your favorite stars and go on adventures with your favorite comic book characters?!
Though I never used them back in the day it's incredible to imagine how many people were roped in to calling for inflated prices of $2 a minute just to hear a recorded message on the other end of the line. They even marketed 900 numbers to kids until a judge outlawed it by the mid-90's if you can imagine that!
I don't think they're around today or if they are, I can't imagine them being used anymore. Just another relic from our past that we now look back and say "Seriously?!"
