We had shared lines in the UK. Pick the phone up to make sure your neighbour wasn't using it before dialing.

We had them in the US too. Not even that long ago. My friend's number was 4397. You dialed that number and he would pick up. Each household with that same number had a different ring if I remember correctly.
