Deron Dantzler Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 I remember long ago dialing *(SOMETHING) and then my own phone number and hanging up...A few seconds later the phone would ring and 2 people could pick up. There would be a buzz that's not heard of in any other phone mode but you could hear one another. Pretty neat to **** your parents off though by calling your own house when you're in the house...Or maybe one's out in the yard w/ a cordless and you can call one another. Anyone remember the *(SOMETHING)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deron Dantzler Posted December 7, 2002 Author Share Posted December 7, 2002 Haha that must have been it but there's a trick to it I guess like you have to do it twice or something...I don't fully remember, but I'm bored :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XgD Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 The way I do this, and other stuff like making the talking clock phone you is by doin this: (UK only) Dial 123 (talking clock) and have a quick chat. Press RECALL on your phone (or just r - not REDIAL!) You will hear a dial tone Put the phone back on the hook. It will ring. Let someone answer it, and they will hear the clock! Just shows how sad i am lol... XgD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brn2prgrm Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 For me all I do is dial my number, wait for the busy tone, hang up and then the phone starts ringing. Then pick it up and you have a connected call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wired57 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I never did such things when I was a kid. I alwayus stayed out of trouble, however we used to have some freaky touch lamsps and som intercoms I found out that if I had the intercom plugged in and turned on and I hit the page button on it the lamps would turn on and off. that freaked my parents out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
