Don't forget about Direct Distance Codes. In pre AT&T divestiture days, if you were in an area outside Ma Bell, you dialed that 3-digit code before the phone number, but after the area code to call 13 digits in all. If outside the locoal pohone company, but within the area code, it was DDD+phone number. In a college dorm, possibly another digit, like 1 or 9, to get outside of that.

Charge for calls varied by time of day and where you called. It was hard to get a dial tone after 8pm, for 15 or 20 minutes.

We had that in Chautauqua County NY in the 1970's.
