Anyone remember 800-525-0280?

This may have several threads. If so, please redirect or delete.
After a t-mobile commercial about their call center, I was reminded of CO’s magical 800 number. I’m tslking 90’s till the 2000’s.
You’d call that number. Choose international or domestic and poof... speaking to an agent.
All the other airlines had already moved to the early versions of {redacted}, That today, we all deal with calling any company.
Oh...the good old days ����

I don't remember.

However, I do remember row 9. And not that row 9. The even better row 9.

I remember and memorized it because the pattern is straight up and down the dial. A convenience now meaningless in the smart phone era. And it dates back even further than the 90s. I believe it was the number for CO domestic reservations in the time when an agent answered without any sort of phone tree navigation. I think it might even be a vestige from the legacy, LA-headquarters era.

That's the number that is in my contacts list, and it definitely still works. I use it frequently.
