I wish they could find a way to stick an old school rotary dialer on a smart phone... I miss the "wheel"

Well, there are a bunch of apps for that. Just one of many here. No experience with any of them, though. I too, grew up with rotary dialing phones AND a party line. Don't miss the party line at all.

I had one on my Nokia smartphone years ago. Got real tired of it after a while. Man that was a difficult o/s to get used to.

LoL, that's crazy B, how do you find this stuff? You know it's kinda entertaining if you read the designers FAQ. It's not all bad either

some weird way I miss that also

I think it's the mechanic in us.... I just liked the feel of turning that dial and watching it spin back. The last time I used one was on a payphone 25+ years ago I believe?

That sounds like a collector phone... I love to watch videos of old phones, and I've never heard of that one. Have any pictures?

Imagine cell phones being on a party line. Tell some kid there used to be party lines on phones and I bet they would think it was actually a party.

2008 - The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic - that Symbian o/s was something else....

Fake name to request a collect call to tell someone you arrived safely.

I remember picking up the phone in the my grandmother's house and just speaking to Helen (the operator) and asking her to connect us to whoever we were calling.
