Reminder- in the 40's and 50's, neighborhood phones were all tied into one line. If you wanted to chat or eavesdrop, you just had to pick up the handset and listen or say, "Myrtle, you there"?
We have a free and anonymous phone service in my region where apart from getting information and aid in case of acute problems the elderly can also request to be set up with a buddy where both of them the get called and connected weekly unless no longer requested who shares their available time slots and if possible interests, hobbies and ethnic background (elderly solitude is especially rampant among minorities who never had much contact with the majority and might lack language skills and cultural familiarity and thusly are alienated by the few available socializing options around them)
