My friend went to US for highschool and wrote Fresh Prince was getting a TV show. I knew him form the *WORD records and assumed it was an Arsenio Hall type of show.

What happened to my He's the DJ, I'm the rapper album?

my mom whooped my *** for callin these 1-900 numbers

i remember calling this Fresh Prince one but the best one i called was one that told horror stories and would have u press 1 , 2 or 3 for different outcomes. the object was to advance the story. my mom wound up gettin a phone bill for like $600 and she dam near passed out from whoopin my ***

Re: WCW Hotline.
1-900-909-9900

So we got Bell Atlantic Telephone Service back in 95. My father tells me that we can now make long distance calls without being charged long distance fees, it was in the package.

So I thought that 1800/1900 numbers were long distance calls.

Put it this way, I was calling and listening to Mike Tenay tell me about Galaxy/Ciclope's dark matches at 6 in the morning before I went to school.

The phone bill was ONLY about $1200. Damn I was dumb

actually knew a lot of ppl in da 90's who didn't know how to use a rotary phone. I did lock myself outta my apartment about 9 years ago, my cell phone was in there & I had to walk to a gas station to use a pay phone to sort it out but the pay phones were long gone so they just gave me the store phone to use. didn't ditch the landmine phone until 2008, getting a misdial from a shady collections agency was 1 of the last straws in really questioning the usefulness of it.

A separate phone line/number or a phone in their room?

It was always hilarious to me how the scenes immediately outside the front door looked nothing like what it should, based on the exterior shot of the house. Like they didn't even try
