We had an automated reverse charges number we'd call from the payphone. You got to say your name and the system would then call my parents at home and ask "Do you accept a reverse charge call from 'mumimatthestation'?"
Then my mum would hang up and come get me from the station.
Yep! A friend would occasionally walk to the nearest payphone, initiate a collect call, and when it asked for a name he would state the payphone number (we didn't have caller id). He'd hang up and I could call the payphone and we would make our plans.
Is your name Bob Wehadababyitsaboy?
