"person to person call"
Unlike a person to machine call?
I'm in my late 30s and I remember one other reference to a "person to person call" - I think it was a Simpsons episode from when I were the one making calls from school!
- ghaff 9y agoFYI for others, in the US at least a "person to person" call was an operator-assisted call in which you didn't need to pay if the person you were supposedly trying to reach wasn't available. And a collect call meant that the party receiving the call was the one who paid. Collect calls at least still exist. I've used them when calling a credit card company from overseas.
