Sorry, this OP should be in Meta.
Some of us can’t post any questions at the desktop site, but we can at https://i.fluther.com/.
“This has been a test of the National Broadcasting System…”
At the sound of the tone, the time will be 13:14
beeeeeeeeepp
@Forever_Free I was trying to explain to my teenager that we used to call a phone number to know what the time was. She was so confused. Hahahahaha
^^ A phone number told you what time it was?
@Dig_Dug
Affirmative.
I think it was something like 555-TIME (8463). This was when one didn’t need an area code for local calls.
@Brian1946 my time phone number was 421_1111 in Edmonton Alberta Canada.
@Brian1946 I’m glad I have the time on my phone always, makes it so much easier.
Here the number was POP-CORN (767–2676).
The US Navy Time clock is still available at 202–762-1401
There was a time, my dear @Dig_Dug, that we didn’t have the technology to carry small computers in our purses or pockets. There were phone numbers for everything!
