Who you gonna call?? No one apparently….

[u/vigbrand → u/B4N35P1R17]

No numbers!

I’m afraid of no math

In Soviet Russia, phone calls you!

Fun fact, you could actually call any number with this phone (tapping the key where you put the handset). When I was kid we were having fun by calling without using rotary dial. Sometimes you get the wrong number, if you mess up number of taps.

And Silence of the Lambs. Not sure if it was the prequel, though…

[u/B4N35P1R17 → u/rmflow]

Wouldn’t pressing the hang up button hang up the call?

[u/Thalidomidas → u/B4N35P1R17]

Not with the old pulse dialling systems

[u/Alternative-Peak-813 → u/B4N35P1R17]

You have to make short impulses to create number, as the handset do

[u/Official_USMint → u/rmflow]

I assumed it was just for the age of a central operator service where you just pick up the handset and someone comes on to ask who you want to talk to.
