Yes, its a huge party line. My allotted time on the phone is 4:02am -
4:07am Wednesdays, unless it's a police or fire emergency in which case I
have 5:15am-5:17am Saturdays as well.
And since the numbers are all 9s, it cuts the manufacturing costs of the
handsets a whole bunch. And our phone directories are just a sheet of A4
paper instead of those big books. You can fold them up and put them in
your pocket. Or some people commit the entire directory of two numbers to
memory and dont need it at all.
