1-900-Santa

  Today I thought I would keep it going with these 1-900 number commercials. Up for mockery today is a 1-900 number where you can talk to Santa Claus, (a recording) of course. Now as I said earlier in the 1-900-9099-CRY that 1-900 numbers were a huge fad back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now this one must have been preying on kids to call the 1-900 number to talk to Santa Claus without getting their parent's permission.

   I can bet you any amount of money that lots of children called this 1-900 number without getting their parents permission and getting into a lot of trouble. This hotline was just asking for kids to call this number without getting their parents permission. Because what kid wouldn't want to talk to Santa Claus? Not to many kids. This hotline must have made a huge amount of money from kids calling without getting Mommy or Daddy to give them permission to call. I love in these commercials that are geared toward kids to get their parents permission before they call the hotline.
   Now this Santa Claus Hotline cost $2 for the first minute and $0.45 for each additional minute. It's a real money maker there.
