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?
-
Have you ever...
@neil Yes to all, plus for a summer I actually was a (human) telephone operator. Those overnight shifts were something else.

@neil this is just an age test. No need to be cruel.

if you said yes to more than two of these, you're overdue to schedule your next colonoscopy...

@neil Most I'm not sure what "Dialled from one exchange to another" means specifically, maybe a UK thing?
I did buy this bad boy new in box from my local thrift store last week. I have a Bluetooth dongle in my house so that I can make calls with it. Fake dialtone and everything!
