Do you remember when 508 was new?

Anyone remember "party lines?" Not the call 1-555-123-4567 for a good time lines, but lines you would be sharing with your neighbors. I remember growing up my parents had a party line.

And btw, with the ring count system up at camp, the one ring lady, Audrey something, would pick up everything and listen in. We'd go "Audrey, hang up the phone, and we'd wait for the "click". :LOL:

Why, yes. Yes, I do.

I also remember when they used letters in front of the numbers. So that tells you how old I am.

Me too.

I grew up in Acton and we were COL for "colonial".

I also remember when there was a special alcove built into the side of the staircase for the single phone in the house to sit.

Wow. That is a dividing line.

I always thought only having to dial 5 numbers in-town was a dividing line.

Also, this board isn't MA-centric enough.

When did New Hampshire even get an area code?

Just one month after I was born. It's something else I'm older than besides dirt.
