I guess it is, although it has quite a crossover to Modern American Folklore. An Urban Legend that was quite true. It really made the news when they decided to shitcan the poor thing. >Could you shed some light on the > subject.. :-) They'd started regarding it as a nuisance, and weren't making any money on it. It was only really *receiving* calls. At all of hours of the day and night, people would call it, hoping to catch someone in the middle of thedesert. A cool thing, a bit of distant human contact with a stranger. It made the world seem nto so big and gave everyone involved a little chunk of magic. Hence, RIP. Snif!
