Anyone ever try the 90# phone trick

90# Scam

According to the story, if you were to call any business who use the BPX phone setup and ask them to press 90#, you are able to make long distant calls on their dime.

Anyone ever try this or heard of people who did it? Is this trick still possible?

I read that awhile ago but since the updates were kind of old on it I didn't bother posting it. Seems like it could be pretty useful if it still works though.

I remember that being in the papers a lot in the late 90's.  I guess prisoners were somehow using it to take control of home phones.  Or maybe I'm confusing this with some other feature code that was being exploited.

I'm trying to find that story. Do you remember what state that was in?
