I'm trying to find out if Iowa City, IA ever had named exchanges. None appear in the database. And if it didn't, what did phone numbers look like there prior...

... At some time I promised to send you the dialing instructions from the various Kankakee phone books I have. 1962: Kankakee (932,933,937,939, WElls 2- 3- and...
Kankakee, in 1947, was a Bell area. But they used -1, -2, -3 and -4 for party lines in the city, instead of J,M,R,W. Anyone know why? 1947 was the last year...
... Do you know if Kankakee had a common battery manual system, or a magneto manual system ? This could explain the difference. The common battery manual...
Thanks for the info on Douglas and Broxton, Georgia. From what you said, in June 1988, Broxton (359) was still step by step, and Douglas was either digital or ...

Dear Group: Does anyone know what the exchange name would be for Barnsdall, Oklahoma in E. Central Osage County? The prefix is "847" which would make the first...
Hi, Melvin: Barnsdall is now operated by Valor Telecommunications, which took over all GTE properties in Arkansas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma, along with some...

OK, could you explain some things? What is a Tandem switch: (See 618-392) Why would Olney have remotes for Parkersburg and Sailor Springs? Looks like they...

I see in most of the Bell areas that had dial that Information (later Directory Assistance) was 411. 611 was Repair and 211 was the Long Distance Operator in...
... It wasn't just old GT&E areas with 11X service codes. Bell areas used them as well. The "rule of thumb" was that when dial service came to a town in the...
Thanks for the info. I seem to remember seeing some Bell offices that had non-411 Directory Assistance codes, but we did a lot of travelling when I was under...
... A tandem switch is any telephone switching system that calls route through to get to another switching system. Basically, it is "trunk-trunk" traffic that...
OK, that explains that then. Parkersburg and Sailor Springs were Centel (I have a 1970 directory from that area.) I'm surprised that all the former Centel...

Good point, Charles! 150+213+555-1212 would equate to 1+502+135-5512, a prohibited attempt to dial a non-existent operator code (135-5512) at Louisville, ...
The only place in Kentucky that requires 150 is Louisville (502) I'm sitting here reading it with my own eyes. All of Arizona (602) requires 150 for...
Charles: Since I can't see over your shoulder, I can only guess that you're still massaging old Olney phone books. In that case, I don't understand why you...
