I wonder how it works with mobile phones. I don't answer when I don't recognize the number about 95% of the time.

There's the fun -- and the challenge -- you don't EVER tell someone who picks up the phone who you are, who you're with, or why you're calling, unless and until they definitively identify themselves as the debtor. FDCPA means you legally can't.

Not as many people have those any more.

my pup thinks she's digging a hole in the pillow.

It was a BEAST. Obviously only feasible for businesses, because the licensing was expensive as fuck.

My area had pulse dialing until 1994

I used to prank AT&T operators when I was a kid by asking them to place calls, using the old-style phone numbering system.

I used an online payment database on the odd occasion I couldn’t trace based on linguistics and boolean searches.

[Jack]

@Jack It was more like, "Hello, Operator? I'd like to place a call to MONtana-6247." "W...what?!"
