Wait, so your telling me that this was actually a thing?? I always thought it was some TV / movie thing to not actually show a number so that people wouldn’t call it.
I’ve never encountered this outside of English speaking media so it never occured to me that this was something you can do. I feel a little ashamed, because I had a dumb phone way into 201X.
Yeah, cast your mind back to the analog days, you’re in your car listening to the radio, you hear an ad for something you want. You can’t Google it when you get home because it’s 1988. Are you going to remember 1800-225-5669 or 1800-CALL-NOW?
