Musk’ll cut it.

Even better if you’re in the Eastern time zone and are ready to hear it in military time.

Or you could just look at your phone.

In all seriousness, I'm always a fan of backups. Who even knows if the NIST servers will be allowed to continue operating.

Good thing it isn't a toll free number or it would be on the chopping block

What do you mean "dial"?

You can also hear the US government's WWV/WWVH shortwave time broadcasts via phone: 303-499-7111 (WWV in Colorado) and 808-335-4363 (WWVH in Hawaii).

(Those WWV shortwave broadcasts are on 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25MHz.)
