Best Answer

It was. fairly expensive. Only one company had control of the phones. It was the Bell phone company. If you wanted a phone you had to buy them from them and no one sold phones other than them. In the 1980's Bell was declared a monopoly and was broken up and ATT@T was born. At first there were a lot of mini Bell companies, but eventually they bought each other out and the monopoly was morphed into what we have today. There were no cell phones in this time and the introduction of cell phones after 1984 changed all sorts of things.

Is Lincoln Nebraska a long distance phone call from Omaha Nebraska?

Yes, a phone call between Lincoln, NE and Omaha, NE is long distance, and you will be charged for long distance if your phone service does not include long distance. They are in the same area code, but that is irrelevant. Your service area may not include all numbers in that area code and in fact may include numbers in other area codes (for example, an Omaha call to Council Bluffs, IA will not be long distance).
