How to Play 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' on a Phone

Last Updated: November 3, 2018 Tested

The musical dial tone sounds can be combined to create a little song. The young child might enjoy doing this, but be careful that a phone call is not being made at the same time!

Steps

1
Find a phone that has dial tones.
2
Pick the phone up with your left hand, or right if it is more comfortable.
3
Use the opposite hand you picked the phone up with to hit the following numbers.
- 6,5,4,5,6,6,6,5,5,5,6,9,9
- 6,5,4,5,6,6,6,6,5,5,6,5,4

Warnings

Don't go too fast or too slow, timing is important.

If possible disable the dial out function on the phone before playing as you may accidentally dial a long distance number.

This can only be done on a touch tone keypad telephone.
