I have one hanging in the kitchen of my 70s house. It seemed like the best way to cover up the wall plate that was there.

We don’t have service, but the phone is fully functional. It was NOS I found online.

I have one; it’s connected to the VOIP box, and it’s what rings.

The cordless touch tone things we actually use for talking keep their shrill chirpy electronic “ring” to themselves.

Theoretically I could answer the old rotary when it rings, but it doesn’t show me caller ID or have a mute button. Obviously, it can’t make outgoing calls.
