What the Website Phone Number??

Maybe she thinks the letters under the numbers on the keypad are only there for texting.

But that doesn't explain why there are letters with the numbers on those ancient rotary dial phones???

 

BEverly 7 - 0284, Yonkers NY (circa 1953)

 

we used OXford here

i still have rotary service...and those dial phones still work here

 

Oak phone cabinet on wall: turn crank on right side. Operator comes on and says: what number would you like? 101w,please. friend Richard answers.

Or: same thing, only Richard says to operator: 354r ,please. Gets me.

That's how we did it in the "old" days. Why I remember those--don't know.

I don't like it when they use a word instead of numbers. Just give the damn number.

 

When I was a child the phone number was W O 9 2774. The W O stood for Woodland but that had nothing to do with the town name or anything else that I van think of.

 

Back in the dark ages our number in Syracuse started with GL8.

Does anyone remember party lines? Those were a lot of fun if you had gabby neighbors.

 

you can kill someone with a rotary phone...

 

ancient rotary texting of course.

 

I must be ancient, I remember when all we had were rotary phones. And we had pulse before we got touch tone.

 

I remember dial pay phones that you could make a local call for 5 cents . First class mail was 5 cents also . I dont think of my self as ancient , just a few gray hairs . desert rat

 

It could be worse, we could remember when phones were invented. :2thumbsup:
