In Judaism, based on Genesis ch.1 and Leviticus 23:32, all days including the Sabbath last from sunset to sunset. In actual practice, we begin our Shabbat a short time before sunset (on Friday) and end it after twilight on Saturday. This is done for several reasons and is a little longer than the actual Biblical day of Sabbath.

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.

How did Sunday end up on the sabbath day?

The Jewish Sabbath was Saturday, however the Sabbath began Friday with sundown and ended Saturday with sundown. Sunday became the Christian day of worship because Sunday is the day Christ rose from the dead. Catholics have retained the Jewish custom of the Sabbath beginning the day before sundown. Thus for Catholics "Sunday" (the Sabbath) technically begins on Saturday evening with sundown, and ends Sunday with sundown.
