2244 on 7 party line. to dial out of town had to dial zero to get operator.

The Marvelettes. Surprised no one else mentioned this.

Ask for Jenny.

It was 4 digits, we called them numbers back then. The phone was black, heavy and did not have a rotary. It was a party line with four other families. To make a call we picked up the phone and generally told the operator who we wanted. We lived in rural Indiana. I don't ever remembering us making a long distance call. Out of the question do to the cost.

Funny thing is I think some folks may be paying proportiantely more to day for some cell services.

lol.

592-4315 My dad still had this number when he passed in February. Now my brother has it...

Not mine phone number but a radio commercial that many Clevelanders will remember in a catchy tune " Garfield 1-2323

I guess the one my parents had and my mother still has, over fifty years later!!

My dad still has the number my grandparents had when it switched to 7 #'s
228-3790

931-1999

VIctor 4 0356.
First thing my mother drilled into me for safety, and dial Operator for any emergency. One time during my First COOP Job, wanted to have operator to call home collect. She could not figure out how to dial number, could not understand letters.

We had 2 numbers as my father was a doctor and his office was located in part of the house=trinity 6-3344 was office and trinity 6- 3345 was the house number. Since it was a party line only needed one phone for the office and the house.

I'd love to post, but my mom still has the same phone number! 66 years in the same house and still going strong at 93!

Haha! Any kids reading this would have no idea what we're talking about. Rotary? Party lines? What's a handset?

I was thinking today about some ads that still say, "Call 1-800..."

Who dials 1 any more? The people still using their land lines with the same number from 30 years ago? :)
