of taking your list of ten provider phone numbers to a hidden pay phone in hopes one would be available to see you within a moments notice.

Handed down from a family member My parents wouldn't get call waiting so our phone line stayed busy. I remember that Sony cordless phone with that long rubber antennae.lol If someone really wanted to get through to reach us they had to call the operator and pay to do an emergency break through on the line.On the phone having a conversation and all of a sudden the operator cuts in on the phone line and says there is an emergency call.Of course it was never a real emergency just someone tired of calling and getting the busy signal.lol
