30 Nostalgic 1-900 Numbers From The ’80s

13. A phone lottery game

The premise of this 900 number was that if you were the lucky caller, you could win prize money. Basically, like a phone lottery ticket.

14. WWF Hotline

This number would give marks insider info on Wrestlemania. It’s been replaced by something called a blog.

15. New Kids on the Block fan hotline:

Probably the greatest fan hotline of all time. The best part of this ad is when Joey McIntyre pretends to be talking on the phone in an over-the-top pantomime.
