(pranks and cursing) were unacceptable for live phone contact, so the
company began hiring women operators instead.
Thus, on September 1, 1878, Emma M. Nutt was hired as the first female
telephone operator, starting a career that lasted between 33 and 37 years,
ending with her retirement sometime between 1911 and 1915.
The customer response to her soothing, cultured voice and patience was
overwhelmingly positive, so boys were soon replaced by women. In 1879
these included Bessie Snow Balance, Emma Landon, Carrie Boldt, and
Minnie Schumann, the first female operators in Michigan.
Nutt was hired by Alexander Graham Bell, who is credited with inventing
the first practical telephone; apparently, she changed jobs from a local
telegraph office. She was paid a salary of $10 per month for a 54-hour week.
Reportedly, she could remember every number in the telephone directory

Copper-based phone service typically works during a
power outage because the service provided its own
power. Fiber-based services need backup power to
keep operating. In the event of a power outage, your
phone, internet, and television services will not work
without a battery back-up on your line. Currently,
there is a battery attached that offers up to eight hours
of operation during a power outage (depending on the
