When I was a kid, there was a song by a bunch of one-hit wonders called City Boy called 5705 with the refrain "5-7-0-5/But there's no reply". There was. I checked it. Sincere apologies to the people who had Grantham 5705, by the way.

Some guy with free weekend long distance and what my workmates would witheringly call "too much time on his hands" did a research project and rang every 867-5309 going as a kind of... um... research project, I suppose.
