Calling people became cheap. Think about making a cross-country phone call in the pre-broken up AT&T era. It was like 25¢/min. Now I pay $35/month and can literally call most countries for up to 500min before I get metered (Visible+).

Cross country? You mean a 15 minute drive away. Many places local was only that town and maybe another town under 5 miles away.

Really limited the range of those free BBS calls

I'll just say one thing: BlueBeep. If you know what that is, nothing else needs to be said. :)
