Cell phones lose signal, run out of battery, and can be dropped in the toilet. Even cordless phones for landlines have a habit of not lasting more than two years. The rotary phones of old were tanks, working for decades after first being purchased. In this day of switching phones every few months, keep an old standby at home that will never let you down. Plus, rotary phones make that awesome ringing sound when you hang up on somebody.
This rotary phone has received a few modern upgrades such as hands free dialing and redial. There is even a red phone if you want a replica of the infamous direct line to Moscow.
