Did anyone here ever call those 1-900 numbers back in the 90s when they were a thing?

To those of you who don't know what those were: they were pay by the minute phone number hotlines. I wonder how many kids got in trouble back in the day for calling those, LOL. I didn't even know they existed until I was in middle school...when they were already dead.

Even though I am old I honestly can't remember any of these numbers and either didn't even know they existed or forget about them entirely...

Oh like psychic hotlines and muk? I never did that because I didn't have any access to a bank account.

I've never heard of this. It makes me wish I were alive for the 90's because it sounds really amusing.

I think I'm too young to remember these, but I also wasn't around during the 90s.

The closest I can think of personally are those infomercial numbers, and I kinda admit I was young and wanted a couple of the "As seen on TV" products. ;;
