    From 1930s to around 1970s, the regular black home dial phone did not change much. Incredible how long that design lasted. Imagine a design lasting 40 years today.

      I know, I was stunned because when I saw that black dial phone from the 30s I thought that's what my grandparents had in their house when I was growing up 40 years later. I guess they always liked the style. Of course, they hadn't had phones in their homes till they married and then after the war got one with a party line.

      The design lasted for 40 years because Bell Telephone was a monopoly. It wasn't until Bell was broken up by Congress in the 1980s that phones became more diverse in design.

    As a design engineer I've worked in the telco industry designing NEBS compliant Central Office (CO) equipment. In 2020 I was at my parent house and was sleeping in a spare room where they had an old rotary phone from the 60's on a table. Out of curiosity I plugged the RJ45 jack into the wall and dialed (literally LOL) and called my cellphone. To my amazement IT WORKED! That is an old analog dialing system which sends off a set number of clicks with each turn of the dial which gets decoded at the CO and routed to the proper destination. Everything now is digital, but the phone companies are very big on compatibility and reliability and are loath to make drastic changes in the system. The old clicking analog router equipment would have been replaced decades ago but it appears someone decided to design the system to recognize the old routing signal from a rotary phone. I thought that was so cool using that to call a cellphone. I don't know how much longer that will work, perhaps it was limited to the carrier they were using. It brought back a lot of memories and its lot likely I will ever have that opportunity again.

    I think my mom had the Garfield phone as a teenager.
    Also I remember when I was 6 and my parents finally decided to get cordless phones (around 2004). I was so amazed by the fact that you could get the phone in the living room and take it to the bedroom to talk. When I was about 8, my parents decided to get me one for my room. It was pink and white and even came with letter stickers so I could put my name on it. I thought I was the coolest kid in school.

      @NEPA Buses Because most people don't need a landline and if they do, they have to pay high fees, taxes and for the service itself which isn't so cheap anymore.

    The first telephone I owned was a dial in handset I bought at Target on the clearance rack for $2 which I owned for 3 years but sometimes the phone would have static every now and then but it lasted until I gave it to charity. It did not have a back plate so I laid it down flat with a long phone jack connected to it. It was kinda like the one in 1968. 5:30

    While the telephone itself is interesting the electromechanical switching systems that made dialed up connections possible is amazing. Terms like Step by Step, Panel and Crossbar identify technology that was the engineering marvel of the time. Floor after floor of equipment maintained by dozens of technicians to provide tens of thousands of connections through the average Central Office.

    Can you tell me how the 1892 candlestick phone and ringer worked related to the switchboard system, if possible, for Astoria/Queens, NY around 1898? I am researching for an historical novel I am writing. Also, I assume it would be a party line system. If so, could the operator listen in on a phone conversation? Or were there private lines available? Thanks much.

    The first telephone call was made on March 10(my bday), 1876, by Alexander Graham Bell. Bell demonstrated his ability to "talk with electricity" by transmitting a call to his assistant, Thomas Watson. The first words transmitted were "Mr Watson, come here. I want to see you."
