I always wondered how people like you would have survived the mid to late 90s going out. When not everyone had a cell phone or even a pager. You actually had to make plans ahead of time.

That or bring quarters for the payphone and always remember the code to your answering machine to check your messages on the machine.

There were times when I would use a payphone to let my parents know something was over so they could come pick me up. I'd call collect, say my name, they wouldn't accept but they knew it was me..

Yea, can you imagine the horror if kids had to wait for their friends to meet them in the mall without know exactly where/how far they are away?

Before I had a cell phone, I never used quarters for the payphones. Granted, the only person I was calling at that time was for my parents to get me from movies/malls/football games and would just say "Ready" when they asked for the name. We had a designated spot and time after the call to be there.
