Call mail call

A blast from the past!

"Call Mail Call" was a popular phrase in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. It was a way to request a phone call from a long-distance operator to connect with someone at a different location.

Here's how it worked:

1. You would call a local phone number, usually a special "directory assistance" number, and ask the operator to "call Mail Call."
2. The operator would then connect you to a long-distance operator, who would ask for the name and phone number of the person you wanted to reach.
3. The long-distance operator would then try to connect you with the person you requested, usually by calling their local phone number and asking them to come to the phone.

The phrase "Call Mail Call" was often used in movies, TV shows, and music of the time to add a touch of nostalgia and authenticity to the scene. It's still remembered fondly by many people today as a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era.
