Called it every morning.
Now when some store asks for my phone number that’s what I give them

The number is still gives the time and weather.

So many..

So the question is, does this just not cost the bank enough to care? Or there really enough people that still call these to make it worth keeping around??

In Memphis: (901) JAMJAM1

892-3300

Covington

It was maintained by a bank and they’d add a joke of the day occasionally. One time, a friend misdialed 892-3303 and an elderly black woman answered. She was less than cordial so we used to call her often and ask what time it was.

Kids do the darndest things.

Yep, Commercial National Bank in Shreveport use to sponsor it. They also had a huge digital clock the flashed the time and temperature on top their building downtown. Clock is still there but it has gone dark.

And we used to tell girls to call us at a specific time late at night. We would call that number a couple of min early and then the call waiting would let us know that they were calling so the phone didn't ring and wake up our parents.
