I remember seeing these commercials all through the 80s and 90s - chatlines where you'd call to talk to "hot local women."

I remember one where the woman kept saying "Call now!" in an almost panicked tone, like it was super urgent that you call for phone sex right that minute!

They'd usually start off at $3-$5 per minute for the first couple of minutes, then $1 per minute after that. Pricing seemed to vary a bit.

I always wondered how much those lines actually raked in.
