star 69
Return last call
Star 69 is a telephone service code that automatically calls back the last number that dialed your phone, whether answered or not.
The feature allowed people to identify or return calls from unknown numbers before caller ID became standard: Someone kept calling and hanging up, so I star 69'd them.
The code varied by region but *69 was most common in North America.
