When I first lived in France ( a while back), one made a long distance phone call by going to the local office of the PTT. An official there would put the call through, and buzz a little phone cabinet where you took the call. And it cost a fortune to boot.
How about calling for time.
Funny how you can remember things like that. If memory serves, at one time we called (and actually called it this) RA2-7681.252-6341
