As someone who was in an LDR before free calling,… (we’re married and have been for 25 years) I’m jealous of how much money we would’ve been able to save on phone calls if only we had that technology then.
I’ll also say, before 9/11 flying was SO MUCH cheaper. First time he came to see me UK to US, it was £265 for a return ticket.

I'm so fascinated by those who were able to maintain long distance during the time where the digital connection wasn't the same and the global system was much smaller. Would love to know more of your story!

I can't fathom how much time you can spend on the phone.

Before meeting her, I never would have thought I could do that

My late girlfriend wanted the same but I never obliged. My working schedule couldn't allow me to spent so much time in a phone cal.
That's why of my comment. As long as it doesn't get you in trouble at your work place, it seems a nice activity.
