ScottsGT Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Pretty cool. Show that phone number to a kid today and just watch the look on their face. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right and you gave the number to an operator who would say "number please". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been my Grandmother. Worked the switchboard and pulled the cables and plugged into the appropriate jack to complete the calls. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 30, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 30, 2022 I meet a lot of “Vets” these days who like to “add on” to their Service Records” and tell me they were an operator. Every single time, I look them square in the eyes and say “for AT&T or Southern Bell?” Lying sacks of crap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
