Dial phone.

How quaint.

I’m so old that I remember such things on the wall.

But not so old that I recall the ones you cranked.

just in case his bad breath gets through to thee other line. :D

I do remember doing collect long-distance calls where the operator would ask the called party if they wanted to accept the charges.

I also remember rotary phones and party lines.

Those phones are the source of the expression, “Dropping a dime on someone.” Basic call was ten cents.
