What is POPCORN Time Service?
POPCORN Time Service is a nostalgic recreation of the classic telephone time service that ran from 1929 until it was discontinued in September 2007. By dialing POP-CORN (767-2676), you could hear the current time announced every 10 seconds with a beep on the exact mark.
How do I use it?
Simply press the green call button on the phone to auto-dial POPCORN, or manually dial 767-2676. The service will announce the time in your timezone every 10 seconds for one minute.
Is this a real phone service?
No, this is NOT a real telephone service and cannot make actual phone calls. It's a fun web-based recreation that simulates the experience using your browser's audio capabilities.
What timezone does it use?
The service automatically detects your browser's timezone and announces the time accordingly. You can test different timezones by adding ?tz=America/New_York (or any IANA timezone) to the URL.
