How was the telephone different from the telegraph in getting started? Telegraphs had central offices along the lines, required a trained operator who knew Morse code telephones could be used by anyone with a voice, but required a complicated switching system to route calls to their destinations. Would the situation in this song have been possible with a public phone? Many people had their first phone experiences with public telephones. Telephone poles and wires had to be erected. Why did it take so long to become a household appliance? What challenge did the telephone face in its early decades? It had to be adopted by enough people that there was someone on the other end to call. How routine has the telephone become in this song-was it a novelty or common?
