  • Опубликовано: 22 июн 2019
  • Another compilation of old ads for you. Pulled from VHS tapes lying in the depths of a cupboard somewhere. This time it's a compilation of those garish and tacky adverts for chat lines which were aired constantly during ad breaks in the middle of the night. They aired through the 90's and early 00's and were obviously before online dating or friend sites were a thing. They were something of a phenomenon at the time though, who can forget that Father Ted spoof "Priest Chat"!
    I do actually wonder if anyone rang these and what happened and if anyone did actually meet someone off one. I also wonder who were the people who featured in these ads!
    Chat line ads include...
    Chatback - 0891 50 50 50
    Good Time - 0898 23 23 23
    Whispers - 0898 28 28 28
    Call Friends - O898 27 27 27 (Ooh!)
    Have You Heard - 0891 555 000
    Call Friends Heart to Heart - 0891 17 17 17
    Tittle Tattle - 0891 60 60 60
    The All New Chatback - 09060 70 70 70 (This one is from the early 00's)

    I lived in a children's home in the late 90's and a staff bedroom got changed into a young person's bedroom and the phone socket was still live. The young person who moved into that bedroom got a cordless phone plugged it in and rang these hotlines up and ran up a phone bill of 2 grand. Haha

    Thank you for posting these. I had no idea they scraped the chatback barrel once the Internet had taken over and 75p a minute! Also, if Tittle Tattle got a single call i'm quite disappointed in the world.

      It was a good laugh, took a while to get used to listening to other people’s messages while listening to your own and replying at the same time. Had a few regular people who called and I actually met my husband on there ahahah he spent a fortune before we met up and I finally admitted I worked for the company

      Nope. 'Fraid not. Most of these were recorded in about 1993/1994. My father used to record a lot of late night music programmes which is where those ads come from.The last few are about 1998-2000-ish.
