Anything but a list of 39 prohibited acts. In the Talmud, tractate Shabbat, 12:1 it summarizes the spirit of the law as "one who does work on Shabbat and the work is enduring has violated shabbat." So, recreation, eating, worship, argument, all those are OK, but don't make things, plant things, harvest things, carry things (outside of your private domain), light fires, or put out fires (except to save a life). Saving someone's life on Shabbat is, of course, permitted even if it takes work.

Can Jewish people use telephone on Saturdays?

Firstly, in this question there is a misunderstanding of the 'day' of the Jewish Sabbath. Saturday is commonly believed among non-Jews to be the Sabbath. This is incorrect. The Jewish days begin at sundown. The Jewish Sabbath begins at the start of the seventh day of the week. Therefore, the Jewish Sabbath begins Friday at sundown and continues until one hour after sundown on Saturday. If one lives in a city where the sun sets at 3 p.m. on Friday, then the Sabbath begins at 3 p.m. on Friday and continues until 4 p.m. Saturday. If the sun sets at noon on Friday...; etc. Now, to answer the question. Jewish people cannot use a phone (to receive a call or to make a call) on the Sabbath. Once the Sabbath has passed, yes, a Jew can use the phone.
