When Growing up what was your telephone exchange name for those younger juber who don't know what this is there was time that in stead of give out your number as (111) 223-456 you would give out as BAldwin3-456 the BA be the 22


you don't have to give the whole number just the exchange
 
Re: Quetion to the or Older Jubber

Oh here a list of Ma Bell recommend exchanges of 1955

for your current telephone number, you should choose one from this list. To help foster the use of exchange names, send this list everywhere, or print out copies and hand them out on streetcorners! 22

Re: Quetion to the or Older Jubber

I don't think we had an exchange. We just had a 3-digit telephone number: 445

The only other number I can remember from back then is my neighbour's number: 416
 
Re: Quetion to the or Older Jubber

ORchard, then OWen.

I also remember 5-digit phone numbers with no exchange.

and party lines.
 
Re: Quetion to the or Older Jubber

GRidley

I also remember just a three digit number. Ours was 776

sad to say, but I also remember picking up the phone and saying, "Gladys, give me Aunt Elsie," and being put through.

Contrary to popular belief, I DO NOT remember having to crank the phone to reach the operator.

I do.

Then again, I grew up in a very small town. It was one of the last to see 'automation'.

Are you saying that your first phones were two cans connected by a string?

Just joking. I also was from a small town which is why we could say things like connect me with Aunt so-and-so or even just Grandma and would be connected to the right house.

Re: Quetion to the or Older Jubber

We had a similar system here in the UK up until the mid 1970s..........if you were on the same exchange, you only had to dial the last 4 digits of the number you wanted; even today, some people still give out their number as, for example, Runcorn 4589
 
Re: Quetion to the or Older Jubber

As a kid, we moved every 3 to 5yr., or so. I ended up having quite a "collection" of "home" phone numbers!

I remember an ALpine 2, and an ORchard 6. And, I also remember "party lines" ... you had to listen for your own, specific, ring pattern before answering. (And ... if you were REALLY Quiet, you could listen in on the other "party's" conversations!) :badgrin:

The exchange names just made it easier to remember phone numbers.

Keep smilin'!! :kiss:(*8*)
Chaz ;)
 
Re: Quetion to the or Older Jubber

we were DIckens - others in town were ELgin and WAlnut...our number was 21348....my best friend was 47975

i also remember party lines - you had to recognize your own ring pattern -- if it wasn't the correct pattern, it was for the other people....when you picked up the phone to make a call you could hear the other conversation if they had used the phone first

when the town abandoned the exchange names and went entirely to digits, my grandmother and my parents lamented that things were growing out of hand....soon we wouldn't even know who our neighbors are.....

they were so right...times sure have changed
