Lessay you wanna simply inquire over the telephone about an expensive good or service:

In the old days you could use a public phone to do that, and you wouldn’t later get solicitation phone calls from that company, in case you got cold feet and backed out.

Now, that’s much, much harder, as public phones are a rarity.
