I didn't have that many friends, I spent a lot of time in payphones though.

In the States we had a weird thing called a Party Line which was a marketing way of saying everyone in a neighborhood shared the same outgoing phone line. Youd pick up the phone to make a call, and hear your neighbors talking. you had to wait until they finished to make a call.

We never had that here, only in the real remote areas.

my parents used a party line in Southern Cal Edison employee camps up & down San Joaquin river, hydroelectric generation. Most were gated communities & well cared for with company incentives.
