The Bell System was the AT&T monopoly that provided telephone service in the United States from 1877 to 1984. In 1984, the company was broken up into separate companies, by a Federal mandate. The colloquial term Ma Bell (as in "Mother Bell") was used by the general public to refer to any aspect of this conglomerate as it held a complete monopoly over all telephone service in most areas of the United States and is still used by many to refer to any telephone company. Ma Bell is also used to refer to the various female voices behind recordings for the Bell System: Mary Moore (deceased), Jane Barbe (deceased), and Pat Fleet (still the voice of (the new) AT&T).
