Old school phone

I grew up with this in the 80s & 90s

I still use a phone from 1996. Push button, though.

No texting or caller ID. But it is hooked up to an answering machine with a mini audio cassette. It all still works but I sometimes have to whack it to hear.

It is plugged into cable company internet. I should upgrade and set up computer voicemail.

For everything else I have my year-old smartphone. I must have that for two-factor authentication.
When I was young we had these slightly older Western Electric 302 dial phones.

By about 1970 we got WE 2500 touch tone phones.

These too...

I received this as a 16th birthday gift—in 1976.
And it still works.
@bijouxbroussard this looks weirdly futuristic
@HijabaDabbaDoo It was called the “Genie". 😊
@bijouxbroussard I take it back—this one was a "donut". The genies were more compact.
