Trivia / Seinfeld S 5 E 12 The Stall

• Technology Marches On: Even though erotic services over 900/976 numbers still exist today, they are not as prominent as they used to be, as there have been changes in both law and technology. First of all, most 900 numbers are now blocked by default, so phone sex companies now use 800 numbers, then charge their fees via credit card. Also, Kramer now has other options, such as cam girls online. In fact, if the episode were filmed today, an equivalent scene would be Jerry chastising Kramer for the latter piggybacking on the former's Wi-Fi while going to cam girl websites (here, as in the actual episode, implicitly to avoid a Shockingly Expensive Bill).
