The phone was the dating app of the 90s.

in 1993 I was in Jr high. my friends and I had a slumber party, and we began calling phone numbers that were local, and depending on the voice that answered, we either pranked(old people) or started a conversation (cute guys). well one number sounded like a cute guy. we began talking everyday, but only ended up being good friends. Then around 1995, I eventually met his older brother. We were married in 1997, and have had 4 sons. I often tell our sons, if I'd dialed a different number, they wouldn't exist. We didn't have the apps, but we got by.
