Interestingly, you can still send a telegram.. https://www.itelegram.com/

I guess these guys took over all the telegram infrastructure of Western Union in 2006.

Telegrams were always expensive but the price now is outrageous. I followed the link and chose Norway as the destination country and was told that it would cost GBP 22 + 67p/word! Even worse for Mexico: GBP53 + 67p/word.

It's cheaper to send flowers with a card!
