It's simply dialling any number out of your local area. In the past, if we wanted to call long distance, we had to use an operator to connect the call. Improvements in technology removed the need for operator assistance, and gave us the ability to dial direct.
The distance from Long Beach to Napa is approximately 400 miles by road, and the driving time without traffic is around 6-7 hours.
Before area codes, long-distance calls were completed manually by operators. You would ring the long-distance operator and tell her (almost always a woman) the city and number you wanted to call. The operator might have to consult the "rate and route" book if you were calling a smaller town, and might also have to string together multiple hops from long-distance center to long-distance center to connect your call. For that reason, the cost was far higher than today, even before you factor in inflation.
