Now, we have to press one for English and hold on for about a half hour to get a recording that is of no help.....Operators were better, faster, and employed people for less money than we pay today. So much for automation & so called progress.

@erod1944 To tell the truth, you are probably right.

And we complain about hearing a busy signal now a days.

Very interesting. I wasn't born 'til 86, but I remember my Grandmother & mother telling me how it used to be. They'd try to call out & sometimes there'd be someone else on the line, so they'd have to wait. (The Party line it was called?). Thank the lord, now noone can listen to your conversations! Unless of course you consider wire tapping, but that's another story! Lol.

Geez this is juicy. Now we point our cell phone to car radio speaker and V-Cast a song, then email it with a touch. Honestly! Thank you for sharing this. Anna.

My goodness! A busy signal? You'd think they'd have invented a way to allow someone to receive a second call. :)

Feh, just another corporate scheme to lay off more workers with automation.

The Step by Step Offices I worked around had dialtone and busy signals that sounded pretty much the same as this video. Maybe they shared the same generation ring generator.
