Corrected entry: When Ed Norton calls Tyler in the phone booth, Tyler star 69's him to call him. Yet when we go back to Tyler's house, all of the phones are the old fashioned phones - not touch tone ones. He would not be able to do star 69 on his phones. Even Chuck Palahniuk points this out on the DVD.

Correction: On a rotary dial phone 1169 is the equivalent of star 69.
Which doesn't much matter either way, as the phone call never happened. Tyler, being a figment of the narrator's imagination, does not exist so he could not have made the phone call. This is backed up in this very scene if you look closely at the pay phone, which says "no incoming calls allowed."
