I would get there and call 1-800-Collect to call my parents.
My name for the recording was always some form of "I'm here"
And within moments, I am sorry but this party has not agree to pay for the call.
Trying to explain this to my 11 year old was highly amusing this morning. I am also guessing this "method" had a very short window in time.

Before we had caller ID, we'd set up a ring code like 2 rings, hang up then call right back. *
