I had rotary phones into the 80s, grandma had them into the 90s.
Both my sisters worked for Rochester Telephone Company right out of high school. One started working there in 1958 and the other in 1960. After that, we always had the newest phones when they became available, specifically, the ones you only had to plug into a wall extension.
My family had a rotary phone until the summer of 1983.
