Indeed, sadly that is mostly gone and buried now. Before the phone company was basically completely responsible for keeping your phone working.

I've even been to relay-based phone exchanges that still existed in those days, though they were rare. Pulse only. It was weird being in a dark building sounding like it was infested by crickets. Really spooky.
