Long Distance Phone Calls

from GenXGrownUp Podcast · host Evergreen Podcasts

Today we grab our cell phones and call pretty much anybody, anywhere, without a second thought. But it used to be that placing a call to anyone more than a few miles away could result in a hefty phone bill at the end of the month! In this Backtrack, we look back on something that has thankfully changed for the better: long distance phone calls!
