The good old days when you actually dialled a phone with a dial.
Zero is last because it creates ten pulses. If it created zero, it wouldn't be that useful 🙂.
My number growing up was a PR5 (PRimrose 5) or 775. Using the letters for the first two numbers was pretty much standard in those days.
I’m so old that I remember.
Our number was BElmont 3-6316
or 233-6316
Um, I'm fairly certain you mean Translyvania 6 5 ew ew ew.
Never got around to watching that one. Is it still worth it today?
