12 Things That Cost Less Today Than in the 1900s

Phone calls

1927: A 10-minute long-distance call was $2.05. That’s $29.54 now.

Today: AT&T has long-distance plans for just 7 cents a minute on a landline.

Imagine having to work 14 hours to afford a phone call to a loved one across the country. That’s what the average worker earning 68 cents an hour had to do in 1927.
