So you couldn’t make a call. Probably for parental control. You’d also see them in some businesses. There was a way around it. All you had to do was lift the receiver and quickly press the hang up button for each number.
eg if the first number was 5 you would press the button quickly 5 times, then wait a second if the second number was 3 you would press the button 3 times. You would do this for all the numbers.
It worked every time.
I also remember taking tv tubes to the drug store and use the tube tester
I remember pumping gas for $1 per hour.
