Not exactly - this MIGHT work from a PBX (say a UCR phone or hotel phone)
but NOT from a home or cellphone. See

Please be aware of the following scam and spread the word to everyone you
know. Carl verified this with our Verizon Representative yesterday
and this is <b>TRUE</b>! You <b>will </b>be charged for the
calls!<br>
This is the story:<br>
“I received a telephone call last evening from an individual identifying
himself as an AT&T Service technician who was<br>
conducting a test on the telephone lines. He stated that to complete the
test I should touch nine (9), zero (0), the pound sign (#), and<br>
then hang up.<br>
Luckily, I was suspicious and refused.<br><br>
Upon contacting the telephone company, I was informed that by pushing
90#, you give the requesting individual full access to your<br>
telephone line which enables them to place long distance calls that will
be billed to your home phone number. I was further informed that
this scam has been with UCB Telecom, Pacific Bell, MCI, Bell
Atlantic and Verizon. Please beware.”<br>
<b> <br>
DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE. EVER!</b>.<br>
