TELECOM Digest OnLine - Sorted: Unlisted Phone Number

Unlisted Phone Number

Patrick,

I'm not sure if you can help me but I've not been able to find
information on when "unlisted" phone numbers first came to use.

I'm a novelist, working on my third book, and trying to find this
info.

Can you help or point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,

Patricia

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I do not know when they first got
started, but I can tell you that in the 1922 Chicago Telephone
Company alphabetical directory, on the page entitled "Services
You Can Obtain From Our Business Office" non-published/unlisted
phone numbers were available at the rate of an additional five
cents per month. PAT]
