Pay Per call numbers were first created in 1980 for ABC during
the Reagan/Carter debates. A total of over 500,000 calls were made
during the debate.
In 1982, NASA started an informational line for the space shuttle
flights. Soon after, national companies realized the incredible
opportunities in pay per call numbers.
In 1987, Telesphere created the first coast to coast, interactive
pay per call numbers. This meant that anyone, anywhere could provide
information regardless of the location. This laid the foundation
for the pay per call business.
Today, you can come across thousands of our PayPerCall.com numbers
