Lots of stuff;
Phone Books, huge books with phone numbers
In Vancouver you only needed to dial 5 numbers.
The prefix indicated where you lived and they had names like Fairfax and Trinity from the days of calling the operator to make a call.
The "party line" where sometimes as many as 4 families on one line, had to take turns and could listen in on others calls.
How about a phone booth? A phone line? Or 25 foot extension cords and phones with dials.
BC Tel never really advertised but phone in contests were always unfair because different areas had limited junctions so some areas had 20 an some had 5.
Sometimes when the phone rang you had to tell others it as your call.
The first "cell" phones advertised by weight and minutes of battery charge. "Only 4 pounds"
Called "the brick"
The Canucks were a championship team playing out of the forum.
