Nothing dirty, honest. It was and still is a real phone number.

It was fun as a kid to dial 844 and then any four digits to get that time/temp recording. We called it every morning before school so we would know what to wear for the day (temp-wise).
Ahhh, the memories!

Here is an explanation for the number that I found online. Supposedly it is to test whether or not your phone line is bugged:

This was before my time - but I am told that years ago before the phone technology changed, there were ways that you could somehow listen to other people who were also dialed in to the time and temperature. I am not sure exactly how it worked but I have read of this in several places.

There was also a number you could call and would hear a ticking of an old father clock. Urban kid legend was that someone was murdered by a shotgun and stuffed into the clock. Can't recall that number though.
Ahhh, the days of the Apple IIe, a 1200 baud modem, and phone phreaking...

I remember when the number was EDison 5-8811.It's the Fort Worth National <i>That's My</i> Bank Time and Temperature number. It still is the bank's Time and Temperature number, but now the bank has changed names at least four time. It's now Chase.
