However, other numbers are designed to take advantage of the caller by charging
very high rates or encouraging unauthorized callers, such as children, to call. Some
numbers even provide a person who will have suggestive sexual sexual conversation
with the caller.
Here are some advertisements that contain 900 numbers. What are the
advertisers selling? Hoe much will it cost to call each number?
OUT OF WORK? We have openings in construction, law
enforcement, sales, marketing research, and resort
management. Call 1-900-897-7899 for details (cost: $1.25
per minute)
VINTAGE CAR PARTS for most makers and models of
American-made automobiles from 1915 to 1960. To buy,
sell, or trade, call 1-900-CAR-TALK (cost: $1.05 for first
minute and $ .85 for each additional minute)
When calling a 900 number, you need to find out how much the call will cost
before you dial. In most states, the caller must be informed at the start of the call or in
the advertisement about the charges for using the 900 number. If you don’t want
anyone to be able to dial 900 numbers from your telephone, you can ask your local
phone company to block access to 900 numbers from your phone.
Some companies will have a representative call to sell you their product or
service. Sometimes they will even use a computer to make the sales call. In either
case, if you are not interested, politely say so and hang up.
Various legitimate organizations may call to take surveys about anything from
household products to how you spent your vacation. They ask questions so that they
can plan their advertising campaigns or design products that consumers will buy.
Some will ask personal questions. You are not under any obligation to participate in
telephone surveys. If you are not interested in participating, say so politely and hang
up.
