Telephone. Long distance calls only became affordable much
later. To this day I wouldn't call Europe. I have no idea what
it would cost.

  Well, you could install Skype on your computer (or smartphone ("Yeah,
*right*!")) and call European landlines for a few cents per minute (if
that 'much') and mobile numbers for a bit more.

  And, as Carlos mentioned, you can tell beforehand whether a number is
a landline number or a mobile number.

  If you can give me an example target country, I can lookup the rates
for you (or you could do it yourself).

  BTW, Skype is owned by Microsoft, the company we all, and you
especially, love so much.
