Starting in January, AT&T customers with digital landlines won’t be able to dial 411 or 0 to reach an operator or get directory assistance. AT&T in 2021 ended operator services for wireless callers, although customers with home phone landlines can still access operators and directory help. Verizon, T-Mobile and other major carriers still offer these services for a fee.
Women were instructed to modulate their voices to sound more polite answering calls and used approved language with callers. “Through training in the art of inflection she gains in those gentler qualities of unfailing courtesy,” a 1926 AT&T video, “Training for Service,” says. Although many of Bell’s independent telephone rivals began using “girlless” automated switchboards in the first decades of the twentieth century, the Bell System was committed to human operators.

HassanFirouzi is in prison. He is asking to see his daughter before his death. He says: We had this child after 10 years and I have seen her only for 18 days. he has been tortured, the government waits for him to get better and then they'll EXECUTE him. Be his voice. MahsaAmini
As 'information-operator for numbers abroad' in 🇩🇪 during the 80' i had often to call them following those 'rulls': - no hello and so on, the op. just opend with: 'what city please?', then i had to name the city, subscribers surname mostly spelled if uncertain, 2 sec. - found! 👍
The European Union should expel the ambassadors of the Islamic Republic regime and recall its own ambassadors, if it does not do this, it will move in support of the mullahs, and we consider them friends and colleagues of the mullahs. IranRevoIution MahsaAmini
I forgot all about it until I saw this post.
I used 411 a few times in the 90’s. I remember using 411 to call the college I applied to. Haven’t used it since getting a cell phone and looking up numbers online. Sad day. Many companies don’t even have numbers, you have to email.
Last time I used 411 was after I saw the Blair Witch Project in theaters. Asked if they knew if it was real or not
In an old cell phone I had 411 information saved (back before our phones had internet) Somehow, on my Dads contact information his name was changed to 411. We thought it was funny so never changed it back. He died, but I kept it on my phone. See it and laugh once in a while.
All those workers have onlyfans accounts now
At 40 years old, I've used it exactly one time in my life as a teenager, and that was mostly out of curiosity. It's not worth maintaining.
a century ago, the operator functioned as Google
Who tf still uses 411
I’m shocked it still exists.
Nobody uses 411 when the internet exists. And you can see the results for yourself.
ingenuity.. innovation- have to move on
Jim Croce is rolling over in his grave!
