We had one in Dallas, run by what was Republic National Bank (my parents had their account there when mom used to work downtown before I was born).
Originally it was 844 followed by 6611, then later you could enter any four digits.
It's no longer in service.

My uncle still had a rotary wall phone in his kitchen when he died 10? years ago.
I had to call a small local south Louisiana bank yesterday and the automated voice had options for people calling on both a touchtone and rotary phone. Hadn’t heard that option in quite some time.

I can remember when N.O. did have that available. It was many decades ago when I was a kid. If I remember correctly, it was a 3 digit number you dialed for that information.
