A little publication came to my attention today which I want to
mention to you for whatever it is worth. Since subsctiptions are free,
you might want to send in your name.
The "Dial 900 Directory", which bills itself as 'your complete guide
to 900 services' is published quarterly by Dave Edwards. The current
32-page issue lists several dozen 900 numbers, ranging from sports and
business news through a variety of adult services. Party lines, jokes,
confessions, sports, trivia contests, product giveaways, etc are all
categories represented.
Since the 900 industry is heavily into sex programing, the 900
Directory reflects this with several full page ads for adult services,
but a full page ad for the Business News Network is also there, along
with ads for lottery results and rock music promotions and a wake-up
service. From 900-321-SINS to 900-999-KINK as it where, and a lot
more.
This is the first time I have seen such a large collection of 900
numbers in one publication, unless you count the ads in the {Weekly
World News}.
To order your copy and be on the mailing list for quarterly updates:

Then enter code number 906363 when requested.

to list in his directory.
