Long Distance. May I help you?
Yes. I'd like to place an overseas call to London. Can I dial direct?
No, sir. I'm afraid not.
Oh, I see. How about the charges?
The charges vary according to the types of call you make. The cheapest is a station-to-stcrtion call, then a person-to-person call. The mini charge will apply for the first three minutes, then each additional minute will be charged.
Oh, let me think of it. . . Could you put through a collect cal for me?
Certainly. Who are you calling?
It's a Mrs. Peters, Marilyn Peters.
And what's the number you are calling?
It's London, 9981-6432.
And your name and number?
My name's Ron Smith and the phone number is 356-2210.
