They were fun.

although they could be frustrating when i was trying to win something by calling my favorite radio station’s contest line back in the late ’60’s, i, too miss rotary phones…

I’m so fed up with the smart phone hype (just another way the companies try to make you spend more hard earned money) that the next time I need a new cell phone, I’ll ask them if they have one with a rotary dial.

so many people are physically attached to their phones today.

Dial “M” for moron.

If you do not have a touch tone phone … press two

I don’t miss being stuck to the wall when I talk though. lol

i recently purchased a dial touch phone….don’t ask me how it works, i haven’t figured it out yet…..

he just got dialed in

Did you know that the dial telephone mechanism was one of the most reliable and effecient devices ever invented? Despite thousands of make-break acuations of the contacts, did you ever hear of one failing?
