I am 52 and have NEVER needed to send a telegram. Long distance phone calls were reasonably affordable even before I was born.
I am amazed they were still doing it.

I never understood why we had telegrams anyway - it seems like it would have been easier to just send an email. (ducking)

Didn't the telegram have a place in the UCC and some of the consumer protection laws? I wonder if there will be some unintended consequences from this change.

Further evidence that Bush is destorying this country's Telegram base! How are we supposed to compete on a global scale when we can't even make our own Telegrams anymore?

A little Republican history; John Hay who was Lincolns private secretary at the White House (one of two)... married the heiress to Western Union.

Now we're just going to have to accept more illegal immigration so they can deliver the messages Americans just don't want to.

When Western Union came up with Easy Link in the 1980's, it was only a matter of time. I wondered then why anyone would even NEED telegrams, when they could send messages by computer. Email?
To: Mr. Brightside
This makes me sad and I don't know why.
I got a telegram once,the day I was married forty-five years ago.
The end of an era.

Don't feel sorry for them. Western Union makes a huge profit from money transfers. Go into a convience store or super market that has a WU hook up and you may well likely see our illegal guest from the south sending home American Dollars.
