Project Gutenberg Numbers and dials weren’t used on telephones for many years. To place a call you picked up the line and sent a signal to an operator in a switching station. The operator would pick up and ask for the name or number you were calling, then would put a wire into a plug to connect you. The photo above is a very small telephone exchange. A large city would have many rows of machines and operators.
