TweetWouldn't it be nice to be able to reach through the phone.
Tweet90# on your telephone
I dialed '0' and asked the operator who confirmed that this was correct so please pass it on...( l also checked out Snopes.com this is true, and also applies to cell phones!) I checked Snopes, too, and it appears to be true.
I received a telephone call last evening from an individual identifying himself as an AT&T Service Technician (could also be Telus) who was conducting a test on the telephone lines. He stated that to complete the test I should touch nine (9), zero(0), the pound sign (#), and then hang up.
Luckily, I was suspicious and refused. Upon contacting the telephone company, I was informed that by pushing 90#, you give the requesting individual full access to your telephone line, which enables them to place long distance calls billed to your home phone number.
I was further informed that this scam has been originating from many local jails/prisons
DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE.
After checking with Verizon they also said it was true, so do not dial 90# for anyone !!!!! PLEASE HIT THAT FORWARD BUTTON AND PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!
TweetHere's a link on it. Evidently it only affects systems that require you to dial 9, then the number, so look out some businesses and all hotels.

TweetThe 90# code has been disabled and fixed about a week ago. A friend of mine who works for Sprint told me this. So take it for what it's worth.
