Good times, reminds me of Yeshiva days.
I put the 800-555-TELL number as in Easter egg in a post recently, but nobody noticed.

It has indeed been replaced. By the internet.
and I was punished for calling these goyshe numbers and told to report to the menahel if I see anyone calling these goyashe numbers

The famous 'tell me' (800-555-TELL) hotline used by many for years for lots of helpful info, not so long ago shut down but was replaced by a new number (408)-752-8052. As of sometime last week, this number also stopped working. Anyone have any further info about this or if there is another number to call instead? TIA
From Wikipedia,
However, while (408) 752-8052 is no longer in service, Tellme may still be accessed on the AT&T Wireless network by dialing #121 (note that this will use airtime minutes)

Yeah, I remember guys calling them...

Tellme: What would you like to hear about?

Yeshiva guy: Baseball

TM: Did you say Basketball?

YG: No, BASEball.

TM: Did you say tennis?

YG: No, BASEBALL!!

TM: Did you say water polo?

It had a hard time with kids voices. My kids used to call and try to find out the weather in places like Nome, Alaska, Fargo, SD or any other places with extreme temperatures. 555-TELL was nicknamed Weather in the Peather by my kids.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Amazing! Oh gosh, all that time spent on the payphones in camp, good times.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.
