When was the last time you used a rotary phone?

I bet I was six years old the last time I used a rotary phone. It was my Grandmothe's and I remember her letting me dial the number to my house to see if my Mom was home. Wow, that seems like ages ago.

Oh I am much too young to remember rotary phones (liar, liar)... Actually I owned one as recently as the early 1990's but I did finally replace it with a push button phone. The ones in the office were replaced earlier than that!

I remember those! We had a rotary phone in our house when I was a kid growing up. There were also a couple of payphones in the town that I grew up in that were rotary back when I was a kid. I haven't seen one of those in years. I think the last time I used one was when I was 15 or 16 maybe.....it was a long time ago.

I remember them and its been years. I'm not sure there are any left in Trinidad at all. The oldest we must have here are the touchtone phones. And averybody has a cell, there doesn't seem to be exceptions.

I remember using it last in 1989...My kids have never seen it... My son who is 12 years old, does ask about it while watching old movies or cartoons... I remember using it ...no redials...once you get a number busy.you dial the whole number once again.Being impatient while using these rotary phones, resulted in wrong numbers...

My granny used to have one when i was a little kid. About 16 years ago i suppose that was..... im from the UK and our emergency services number is 999 like 911.... i have always thought that it was the stupidest choice of number to be used with a rotary dial phone... you would be there for ages trying to dial it.

Funny lol, you know im too old to remember that...hahahhaha truly it was back in the early sixties but cant tell you what month or date or what year ...lol

i remember having a rotary phone in our house when i was around 4-7 years old.. we had 2 and i also remember being very impatient because when i dial 9 or 0, it takes quite some time to get to the next number..hehe i miss using that kind of phone.. old school..hehe :) cool post rocketj1.. :)

Yes, I love rotary phones. I had one growing up as a kid and we used it for a long time even after my grandparents has passed away. I think it has been about 12 years since we last used it. I would like to have another one but they are almost impossible to find. I have a wristwatch and I still wear it quite often. Both of my kids have one too as I bought them for Christmas.

I want to say it had to be in the early 90's. I was about 11 or so.. My grandmother used to have one in the bedroom I stayed in.

It is fun to watch older movies that have rotary phones in them. Too funny. Remember the movie Wargames with the OLD modem? Even funnier to see that.

I remember the rotary phone. It was still in use at offices I worked for way back in the 1990s. It was what we had as I was growing up, the whole phone would move as we dialed the numbers. I remember with fondness the ubiquitous red public pay phones owned/monopolized by teh Philippine Long Distance Company. I rather liked the tactile feel of the diallers.

Hi rocketj1. I remember having a rotary phone when I was younger. I remember we had what they called a party line and when you wanted to make a call, you had to check and make sure no one else was on the line. I didn't like it because lots of times you had to wait our you had people listening in on your conversation. I don't think my kids would know what a rotary phone is. lol Have a good lotting day.

hello rocketj lol that is funny that i ran across this Mylot discussion about rotary telephones. lol believe it or not, my parents still have and use in their house two rotary telephones that still work! lol my boys think that their rotary telephones are so cool! lol they love dialing the phone at my Mom's house. lol also, just yesterday on the Ellen show, she was talking about does anybody still use a rotary telephone. then she said, what if you had to dial 911. lmao she is so funny. take care and have a beautiful evening.
