Millions of people called and listened to poetry. Dial-A-Poem was the first time that the telephone was used to communicate to large audiences, beginning a new era in telecommunications. DIAL-A-POEM discovered that the telephone coupled with publicity enables one to communicate instantly to large numbers of people. The technology developed spectacularly, and now you can communicate with one million people on one line at one time. DIAL-APOEM inspired a Dial-A-something industry: Dial-A-Joke, Dial-A-Horoscope, Dial-A-Recipe, Dial-A-Santa Claus, Dial-A-Soap, Dial Sports, Suicide Hotline, Off Track Betting, Lotto, and Phone Sex, among others, and the 900 number.
