Some people have a really interesting question that goes like this: can these 800 numbers be used for something else rather than to get information? Well, you have to know that they can be used for something else. You can call an 800 number and ask for the exact hour. You can also call a 1-800 number and ask the operator to set an alarm for 6 AM for example. Then, the following morning at 6 AM you will get a phone call and a machine will tell you that the hour is 6 AM.
The great part about these calls is that your phone will keep on ringing until you will wake up and pick it up. You can also call 1-800 numbers when a disaster will strike. In case of a hurricane or a tornado or other natural disaster, even in case of a wildfire event, you will be able to call such a number and get information about shelters, hospitals, food supplies and other such things that can save your life during such a crisis. You will also be able to call these numbers to get general information about a city for example. You can call the local 800 number and get information about all sorts of things like museums, hospitals, parks, restaurants and many more. You can ask about cinemas and hotels too. Such a number will really help you out if you will be new in a city. Getting information about such places in a city that you have never visited before can be a really valuable asset. If you will call a 1-800 in certain cities you will end up talking with a machine that will tell you the history of that city. There are special phone booths near certain historical landmarks that you can go to. Then all you have to do is pick up the phone and listen to the machine. The machine will tell you all sorts of interesting facts about the historical landmark that you are near to. Many cities in the United States and also in Europe have decided to use such phone booths all over certain cities. |
