I wonder does rotary dial phones still work on land lines?

Yes, you can use them on today’s phone system! Legacy system.

Here’s the batphone being dialed to Commissioner Gordon!

Yes, they do. I have a rotary phone still in use in my house and one in my garage. I also have push-button phones in each building. I also have DSL internet access on those same lines.

If I am not mistaken, the earliest phones will still work on today's systems. The reason is that no change-out of technology could take place simultaneously everywhere. Device have to be backward compatible. The old "land-line" system will last until it is finally scrapped someday in the far distant future.

Miraculously, new technology continues to function in the old system.

I still see rotary phones occasionally in elderly peoples houses. Saw one a few days ago.
