People either wrote letters to each other or used a landline telephone.

Was on the phone for the last 45 minutes or so, trying to get answers from my insurance company. Was transferred to three people.

She's calling an old friend about something. She could literally talk for hours. Makes sense since they rarely see each other.

I could still remember our landline in Olongapo City decades back - 2732. The telephone was prohibited use for children. I was the naughty one who disobeyed and dialed all possible combinations - till someone answered and said the...

I have received several bot calls from a fella with a gentle Southern accent. A few times I have played along long enough to learn that he was asking for donations for some police fund. A worthy cause. But I always hang up before...

I barely know how to use my mobile phone and I certainly don’t know how to text someone. I hear all sorts of stories about autocorrect and how it can be very ‘incorrect’ at times.
I heard today of someone who is now turning her...

Today I was very busy, off and on myLot.
Which got me to thinking. It’s like a telephone where you can gab, laugh, empathize, and have fun whenever you want to connect with your friends.
