MikeWaters is an unknown quantity at this point
Default I sent a telegram for the first time

and no it was not a pajama-gram.

I go onto a website, enter who I want it sent to, what words to include in the telegram. Then it is printed somewhere. And hand-delivered to the recipient.

The cost is $30 + $0.88 per word. The address is included in the word total. I ended up spending close to $50 for this telegram. My actual message was about eight words.

Strange thing, telegrams.

I'm not mentioning the purpose or the context of the telegram because it is a personal matter. But I will say that it was sent because it is a cultural custom in some places.
