Anyone remember this in the 2000s? LOl


Everyone was using it to meet up at night back in the day lmao
The precursor to Myspace, roughly lasted from late 2001 to around
somewhere in late 2002

You could add friends and even message people like Myspace but
using your dial pad, even had a bulletin board like myspace as well.

They are still around now :)

I call this one regurally and talk to them: 712-432-6499 -- Im usually in room 1 but sometimes I goto room 2....

Nicest bunch of people I have ever found..... The main greeting says "A meeting place for Blind and visually impaired...." but its not restricted to that.........

But I don't want to call a number that would send My Father's bill sky high.

I thought we all had unlimited phone now??

We have the cable companys phone network  (MCI is thier carrier) -- Unlimited calls to US and Canada for one price.... (39.99 I think)

Im sorry Howard,I thought you also had free calls.........


Im gonna call the line and be in room 1 when I logoff here........

Unfortunately, I don't pay the phone bill but My Father does & I only pay the Chase bill when it comes in the mail.

Gosh Im sorry buddy......

That's OK Dude, the only party lines that I can recall was The MLM Talking Yellowbook phone party line back in the early 1990's.

I started out calling the talkee lines in the 80s (www.talkee.com) but they are aweful!!!!!!!!

I havent called them in years......... Nothing but losers on there!!!!

Did you at least chat with some hot women? ;)

I dunno about "HOT" howard :D

So they weren't hot? ;D

It's a phone line, how can you tell? ;D

Often if you stayed up too late at night, you'd see them on TV, but I feel this "fad" peaked in the late '80s/early '90s (I have a bunch of commercials from that era), by the time the 21st century arrived, online dating had largely killed this off, though I remember seeing some commercials as late as 2005. 900 or other premium phone service lines have been extinct for many many years now, and I couldn't imagine how much people shelled back in the day.

When I was calling those phone party lines back in the early 1990's I used to try to fake my voice by sounding like a girl and I got a couple of responses. You just leave a message and wait for the responses, I forgot the name of the party line. ???

I havent been able to get thru on the line I posted on this thread for over a month as I think my cable company is blocking them.... (Or someone is)

Really pisses me off..... Im one of the only ones who cant call them because I am on this lousy crappy network!!!!! --- TIME WARNER/SPECTRUM IS AWEFUL!!

I can still reach 712-432-4281 BUT NO ONE IS ON THERE!!!!!!!

No, not interested right now, I'd rather meet girls instead.

This trend actually started around the mid-80s with all those 976 numbers, with the 1989 film 976-EVIL a horror parody of that fad. In fact, if you grew up in Southern California in the mid-to late '80s, you may have come across the radio call-in show "Susan Block's Match Night".

Yes, I do remember those 976 hotline numbers and then they told you to call but ask your parent's permission. I think they were 99 cents a minute I believe.  ???
