Ok I’ll admit it… I collect rotary phones. This is one from my collection, a 1939 Western Electric model 302. Designed by Henry Dreyfuss

Old Phone Black and White by Photomatt28 on Flickr.

Spent multiple hours on the phone today trying to troubleshoot wifi-calling. I don’t have service at my house so I have to rely on wifi calling, which hasn’t worked in 2 months.

Cell phone provider says: Must be the internet
Internet service provider says: Must be the cell phone.

Aren’t all these modern day conveniences supposed to make life easier? Then why does it seem like everything in life is getting more complicated? Who has 3 hours to spare in a day to sit on hold/try to communicate a problem to someone who doesn’t even seem to want to listen? All to end up at the same place I started - with a phone that doesn’t get service and can’t connect to wifi calling.

I’m seriously considering returning to the days of having a land line and a little black address book. I would, too, if it isn’t the same company that provides the internet that provides the land line.

When you talk with someone out of town, it gives you both a real feeling of being together … not just while you’re talking, but for a long time afterward.

Telephoning IS personal, easy, economical. You can make somebody happy with a call right now.

LONG DISTANCE RATES ARE LOW

Here are some examples:

Trenton to Washington, D.C… … 55¢

Philadelphia to Providence … . . 65¢

St. Louis to Des Moines … . . 70¢

Cincinnati to Atlanta … . . 85¢

New York to Columbus, Ohio … . .95¢

San Francisco to Tulsa … . . $l

These are the Station-to-Station rates for the first three minutes, after 6 o’clock every night and all day Sunday. Add the 10% federal excise tax.

CALL BY NUMBER. IT’S TWICE AS FAST.
