I also collect phone numbers, each Telstra phone has a number, you can even ring them 😀 When you get bored, ring a phone and see who picks up 🤪

Telecom Australia’s solution to the mobile phone, essentially a Philips MCR30 car phone in a portable housing. From 1989.

People who don't give their phone number in the four three three format are the true chaos merchants in our lives and need to be watched carefully
