Just as long as you forget water getting into the lines / pits and taking out the neighbourhood, some farmer ripping his paddock and cutting cables etc. And then the 'we'll be around to fix your phone between 8am and 3pm. We will need someone to be home during this time', only for them to get held up on a different job and postponing it to the next day (week), after you took the day off.
Another case of looking at the past through rose coloured glasses.
Though, with a mobile phone you can't convince your kid brother that by sticking the unsheathed pair on his tongue he would be able to hear the dial tone through his jaw [48 volts DC baby ]
