You know my methods

Before mobile phones when you would call your pals house to speak to them
9/10 the parents would answer and you had to speak to them whilst you waited for your pal to come to the phone |

You also ran the risk of them listening in if they were posh enough to have two phones in the house

Early mobile phones were around when I was younger but most people didn't get them till secondary school so I used to have to do this if I wanted to meet a friend at the park or whatever. I actually still remember the landline number of my best friend even though I haven't phoned it for like 18 years lol

Most parents would just shout for the friend and leave the phone down after saying how are you or whatever
