The above post reminds me of a very popular doge used by some people who would travel and wanted to let those at home know they had arrived safely at their destination; they would dial the operator and ask to make a person-to-person call; person-to person calls meant the caller wanted to connect only to a specific person; if the person specified was not available to take the call, there was no charge for the call; as in the recording in the above post, back in the day, you pretty much heard every bit of the process involved in making the call. For example, say you were a college student at a faraway college and, after the holidays you wanted to let your family know you arrived safely back at school; you have the operator make the person-to person call and give some fictitious name for a receiving party; they ring your family's house and when asked if the requested party was at home, the family member would say "No, that person isn't here". Your family knows you're safe and the call was free...
