When Did You Stop Using Rotary Phones?

[Cbsteffen]

I'm just wondering. Rotary phones must be outdated by now because they take so long to recognize a number from having to turn a wheel for every digit instead of just pressing buttons as with a touch tone phone. I haven't had a rotary phone in use since 1997.

I started using push button phones as soon as they came out. Bell Telephone was the only company we could get our phones from and we had to rent them. It was more expensive to rent the push button phone but I loved it.

There is still one hanging in mom's old bedroom but it's not wired to any line, so it sits there looking old.

As soon as the button phones came out, I stop using rotary.

Hello to everyone out there in Fusion Cash World

The last time I used a "rotary phone" was at my mom's house.  God bless her soul. 
But, all I know is that it was a few years back and I don't even remember why I used my mom's phone.
Anyways, my sister Elaine found out about it when she got the phone bill and she scolded me and said, "Susan from now on use your own phone, and stop using mom's phone because I pay for it or else you start paying this bill!

And, that's all I remember!

Oh gosh! I can't remember. Mid 80's I guess.

I believe I stopped using a rotary phone as soon as the newer models of "touch tone" phones came out back in 1963.

I stopped sing a rotary phone too many years to count.

It's been so long I can't even remember! seems  like I 've been using touch tone all my life but I know that's not the case.

Well, there are retro-style mobile phones with a wheel like what a rotary phone would have for dialing numbers.

  I have not seen a rotary phone for a long time. I think they are all located overseas.

Honestly, I'm not even old enough to have experienced that.

I can't even remember when I last used a rotary phone. I would think it has to be in the mid 80s.

That's about the same time I touched one too.
