When Did You Stop Using Rotary Phones?

[ghunter]

As soon as the push button phone came out.  I think I was a little girl.

I haven't actually had one in my home, but in my grandparents house I used one but that was so many years ago lol.

The last time I used one was at my grandmothers house in 2007. She passed away and the phone was thrown out with a lot of other things. I would have took it if I knew no one wanted it.

I stopped using rotary once touch tone was created.  It was great-it would take forever and a nail breaker.

Do you mean you enjoyed switching to touch tone phones after calling numbers with rotary phones took too long for you?

Maybe the late 80s?

I think late 1970's or early 1980's.

I remember that my parents used to keep one at the house for when the electricity went out. I've only seen them use it a few times and that was quite a while ago I think they upgraded to a push-button phone rather quickly. I just remember seeing that old pink phone under their bed in case of emergencies. I think it is becoming a rare occurrence for a millennial to have even seen a rotary phone. Though I have seen one, I'm not entirely sure how it works, aside from watching the show "I Love Lucy"
