I am still using rotary dial; on a party line.

Mine still has a crank, how did you get a dialer?

Rotary dial? Who needs that newfangled contraption. I just pick up the earpiece, turn the crank a couple of times and yell into the horn, telling Effie down at the general store who to connect me to.

I know someone at the phone company. Effie down at the general store was getting too cranky for me. Yes, that pun was intended.

Same here. And, if TEOTWAWKI happens and it's survival time, we can catch fish with ours... '-)
