Omaha Telephone History: 101 ESS
http://omahatelephonehistory.blogspot.com/2010/03/101-ess.html
Friday, March 12, 2010. The 101 ESS was a model of telephone switch which played a very important part in Ma Bell's emerging technology, but it only appears in fleeting references in historical documents, eclipsed by the 1 ESS and others. The 101 was Ma Bell's first! Yes, predating the 1E! Some will tell you that the 101 ESS is essentially the red-headed stepchild of the Bell System. It was quirky, had a short operational life, and had a bad reputation in the field. It was renamed the 101 ESS after the t...

Thursday, March 25, 2010. The Ad Man Cometh. Let's take a break from the techie stuph, and reflect on another aspect of Ma Bell's omnipresence during her heyday, some vintage Ma Bell ads, compiled from various sources. Yellow Pages tm .

Ads such as this were common, and rightly so, encouraging subscribers to keep the lines open for servicemembers during the peak evening hours. This is al...

In our next installment, we'll trace a call through a panel office, showing exactly what happens in each stage of the process.

Omaha Telephone History: The Great 531 Overlay of 2011!
http://omahatelephonehistory.blogspot.com/2010/05/great-531-overlay-of-2011.html
Thursday, May 13, 2010. The Great 531 Overlay of 2011! After years of speculation, decades actually, and several false alarms, Nebraska will be getting a third area code for general telephone service. (Isn't this exciting? The number of available prefixes in 402 is really-truly approaching exhaustion, even with a judicious degree of sharing of many prefixes between providers. (Yes, you can now get an 'Omaha' cell phone with a 'Springfield' prefix of 402-253! To phase in the new area code, 'permissive' di...

Omaha Telephone History: January 2010
http://omahatelephonehistory.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 30, 2010. Thanks to those who sent in updates, additional information, and corrections. These can be sent in either via e-mail or as comments.

Thanks, gang, and keep those cards and letters coming. Sunday, January 17, 2010. Historically spe...
