does anyone remember?

when you could make free phone calls at pay phones by sticking a pin though the handset and touching it to the key hole and then dialing?

You could also download a quarter tone .wav, dial operator say the keypad is messed and then play the tone when they dial the number.

All this kinda stuff was cool when i was 14.

There was a bunch of those numbers. My friend had some paper filled with those numbers.

Weren't they like operator codes?

Pay phones were all the same back than.

^ 2727378 and the pass was 25563... after that I didn't know the Opcodes.

It doesn't work on Bell Phones in Ontario though. I was disappointed.
