Telephone access at Camp Adair was available in several locations, including all post exchanges (PXs). However, the primary and most popular place for soldiers to call home was the telephone center located opposite the Center Theater.

This dedicated facility housed 14 telephone booths, providing servicemen with a relatively private space to connect with family and loved ones. A local call could be made for just five cents, while long-distance calls—depending on distance and duration—could cost up to about five dollars, a significant expense at the time but often worth it for the chance to hear a familiar voice.

To assist soldiers, attendants wearing distinctive blue and white armbands were stationed at the center. They helped place calls, ensured the booths were properly managed, and provided change when needed. Their presence kept the operation running smoothly and made the process easier for servicemen, many of whom were unfamiliar with long-distance calling procedures.

For many stationed at Camp Adair, the telephone center was more than just a utility—it was a vital link to home, offering comfort and connection during wartime service.
