I DO NOT MISS ROTARY PHONES. And I'm no youngster. I clearly remember crank phones and party lines. Two long and one short etc.

I think touch tone digital is the only way to go.

You slam a rotary phone down to hang up on someone WWWWWAAAAAYYYYY more satisfying than just hitting a button on a phone

That and you couldn’t kill one if you tried, those suckers were beefy

First phone i remember was the old sucker attached to the wall, burnt spots on the wall above it at the bells where lightning fried a little paint. Couldn't chuck that phone across the room when somebody pi**ed you off.

OK, you got me on that one! Too funny! I do remember doing that!

Ya, somehow or another smashing a smart phone to smitherines to hang up is a double edged sword. Feels great to do it till you realize what it's gunna cost you.....

Here is the original phone from the farm where I was born. My dad got it when the new phones were installed. I have it now. Just need to find the right wall to put it on. Note the ledge for taking notes and the original sheathed speaker wire. I can still see the women all gathered around it listening to the latest gossip on the party line about who was doin who in their hay mow.

Our ship still has rotary phones. The dial was clogged up with filth and the repair tech had to ask me how it was supposed to work - LOL. we also have sound powered phones

You could never pocket dial on a rotary phone, and call display put a end to the harmless prank calls…. One time Dad ran up the stairs stubbing his toe only to find the caller was hooked on Nalley’s potato chips they talked for a while about treatment for this poor chap.
