In our college dorms, we dialed 5 digits to another room, all rotary dial wall phones. System was called "Centrex".In off-campus housing, and probably most residences, your phone was rented from the phone company for about $1.25 a month, more for a phone that was not black. A lineman had to come over and install it or remove it. Extra phone cost more. Some people knew to disconnect the yellow wire (for the bell) so the phone company could not detect the extra phone in the house by the electric current draw. |
