Our phone prefix was SO, (Southfield),SO34681 got you the time recording
Mine was IV (Ivanhoe) and I totally forgot about calling for the time and temperature! I do remember when my dad bought our phone though, it seemed like it was a special day in my house.Back in the day, by dialing WADBUG, I connected to an aviation weather recording for my area.
Ivanhoe... I like that and have never heard of it before. I don't remember a time that we didn't have a phone. It was in a recessed cabinet in the hall with a shelf under it for the phone book. Naturally, you had to stand up to use the phone. Phone conversations were almost always short so standing worked just fine. Until I started dating.... My father had a perfectly functional internal clock and when your time on the phone ran out he was quick to inform you that your time was up.Mine was IV (Ivanhoe) and I totally forgot about calling for the time and temperature!

Hahahaa sureeeeeeeee broThe only way to determine who was calling was to answer the call. Caller ID ended the phone prank calling which I never did of course. (evil grin)
