We had one.
People would just walk in the unlocked back door.
Use the phone and drop 5c in the honesty tin.

Dad’s work paid for the phone, so as kids we’d steal the coins.

A mobile phone back then was an extra long cord.

No.

I asked my mom and she said pretty much every house had a telephone even when she was little.  They did have a party line rather than a dedicated line though.

We had two phone booths in town.
And I reckon no more than 20 people had a phone.
People would get important messages left at these houses.
Often you were the first to hear about other people’s new babies, deaths and accidents.
