The only telephone co. was New England Telephone and you had to rent your phone from them and it was permanently attached to the wall and if you were fancy y had a long cord and could walk around while on the phone.

A friend’s parents continued to rent their phone well into the 90’s, until they realized they’d paid something like $3,000 for a rotary phone over the years.

They called the phone company and thankfully they stopped the charges.
