"Hello, Operator? This is 2, could you connect me to 3 please? Thank you."
I'm old enough to remember having to tell the operator what exchange you were calling.

I can remember when my telephone number was 5 digits, then they added letters to it.

my next door neighbors wife in HS, ran up a $5k phone bill talking to Miss Cleo.
The whole neighborhood found out 1 day, when he came home, found the phone had been cut off, and it was his business line.

CALL MI NAU FI YA FREEEE TAROT REEEEEEEEDIN
Right.
Like our telephone number when I was a kid was CLeveland 1-3330, or 251-3330. My friend James had CLaymark 1-4954, or 251-4954.
The prefix of 251 was the same but the numbers were on different exchanges. At one point each exchange was run by one operator who operated the exchange.
Crazy shit. No wonder it cost a bloody fortune to make a local call and long distance in 1967 (as far back as I can remember) ran around $6 per minute and that was when minimum wage was $1.40 an hour.
That would translate to $80 per minute these days. No wonder people sent mail instead.
