Remember how long it took to dial a number?
And how pissed you got when you got a number wrong and had to start over?

Always jealous of the kids with touch dialing.
Be the 10th caller...and here I am with a rotary dial phone.

Rotary phones did wonders for my memory—I knew all the first-three-number codes and where they covered — later I had a job where I called all over the country and knew a lot of area codes as well — and I learned to make little equations and stuff for the last 4 numbers,
Then the push button phones came in and I lazily just memorized the shapes.

Remember when a long distance call cost more than a local call? 😏

I remember how thrilled i was when I discovered you could dial a number by tapping the disconnect button quickly and pausing between "numbers". For example "704" would be quickly tap seven times, pause, quickly tap ten times, pause, quickly tap four times, pause, etc.
Worked well when the rotary dial was physically locked.

Especially when you were trying to be the tenth caller in order to win tickets or something off the radio.
