My parents finally got a
private line in the late 70s when
someone new moved into the neighborhood who
left his phone
off the hook when he went to bed!  (By then it was about a
six
party line)  My mom was frequently on call for the local
blood bank and had to
drive to a pay phone to return pages.
I think my dad got a lawyer to send a
firmly worded letter
to the phone company and they gave my parents a private
line
within a couple weeks, and WITHOUT charging the per-mile
rate from the
switch.
