"Well, the time when your own number has to be changed is still some time away" at 4:45. Did they have Caller ID in 1961?

At 16:56, there is a Bell System logo that allegedly was introduced in 1964, according to Google searches!

The very first area code, (201), covered all of New Jersey. The (609) was split off of it in 1958 for southern NJ. That state now has 10 area codes.

The letters are shown at the end to the tune of "The Girl I Left Behind Me," while the numbers are represented by "Yankee Doodle." Patriotic?

At 9:22, it shows UPA's phone number, which it also shows at the very end.

LL could have been used. Just dial LLoyd 5-0000. LLewellyn 5-0000. (That comes out as 555) LY could have been LYnbrook or LYcoming.

I have lived in the Hatboro, PA phone exchange several times. It has several 95x exchanges, as shown at 7:45. That would have been impossible in the OSborne days.

In the beginning, there was OSborne 2 and OS5. My Hatboro number was always all-numeric 674. The first non-67x exchange that was added was 215-956.

Yeah, as well as the beepers that made a brief appearance in the 1990s. That's why we now have area codes that look like exchanges, and vice versa. That's why we now have 10-digit dialing.

My number, had it existed during letter exchanges, would have been HIstory 2. Actually, HIlltop 2, but that doesn't show up as easily in YouTube font.

@MkRorky - The first number cannot contain a 0 or 1. It can now be in the 2nd position, and that's the very reason for this video.

You forgot that back in the day, modems required their own phone numbers for dial-up internet!

The YT account associated with that video was terminated.
