@neil my mother was a (human) telephone operator. so, although I didn't speak to her as a telephone operator, we talked.

I not only spoke to a telephone operator, I WAS one (at a car dealership). So was my wife - that's where we met.

@neil wait does the phone card one mean the type for payphones, or does it include cards used to top up PAYG mobile phones? cos I definitely used the latter.

@gsuberland Ooh, good clarification. I was meaning in the context of a payphone here.

@neil Most of these. Not sure about the phone card. I don't *think* so, but I'm not entirely sure.
I've talked to operators but I don't think been routed from one system to another, unless this includes dialling 9 to dial out, or being forwarded by a receptionist?
Never received a phone call in a phone booth, but used to use them regularly to call parents as a child and teenager.

@sarahjamielewis Well there's a surprise

@neil I am curious what it means to dial from one exchange to another.
I probably only called local numbers as a kid and dialing other areas when I was older was always just preceding the number with a 4 or 5 digit area code, did it work differently before?
