Looking For A Rotary Phone


E-Day

Recommended Posts

  • Retromags Curator

I am looking to get a couple of rotary phones, because they are awesome. I want one that's the old fashioned desk phone like you see in the 70's and 80's movies and TV shows. And also one of the trimline rotary phone, where the dial is on the handset. eBay has some, but shipping seems to be extremely pricey. I was wondering if anyone had any nice rotary phones laying around that they wanted to get rid of. Technology annoys me, so while people are getting cellphones, I want to move backwards and get a rotary phone or two.

Have you seen this? It is a cell phone that is a rotary phone like you want, even works, old bell ring and all.

My fiance's grandma has one of the ones like this red one (it is black though) but she is holding onto it like an old person holding onto a teenager that just egged their house on halloween night.

Definately! I also won a trimline rotary phone while I was asleep. I have been looking to get a rotary phone for a while now. Nice and old school.

People are going to come over to your house and be scared out of their pants when that loud bell ringer goes off when someone calls (especially if they are beside it, or even better, looking at it). That will be hilarious.
