This is definitely going to date me, but in the old, old days, when a
call between distant US States was really prohibitive, people used to
invent simple codes for "I got back ok". They'd make a collect, person
to person call to their family number for "Al okay" for example,
meaning all is ok. You could often place a sentence or two while the
operator asked whether the person would accept the charges, which of
course they always refused :)
