Never had a phone, electricity, natural gas or running water in the fifties and we made it. If they want me they'll holler!

I WANT ONE!!

A place called the gadget company in Tulsa used to sell them.
Only place I ever saw them.

Good riddance , my neighbors have one and every time we get the drive way resurfaced the line gets cut so then they get ATT to come out and lay a new one. To make things worse ATT puts those lines into the ground not even a foot deep so a box blade will inevitably snag it every time. Why anyone insists on having a landline now days is beyond me. If you have poor reception for cellular at home BUY A BOOSTER they work I used one for users in a remote location and it gave me 5 bars all the time when I would not have 2 bars without it . Fiber penetration is even making its way into the sticks now , or just get Starlink.

Do you have a booster you think is good, or what you used? Thank you.

*IF* the rural folks has decent internet, then there are VOIP options to keep a home phone.

We use OOMA for our voip home phone.
And it's cheap, I think $10-12 per month.

Sometimes it's just easier to use a home phone.
Pick your preference.

You guys think that's bad???

I'm still trying to get the blinking clock set on my old Magnavox VCR player set to the correct time.

Well, at least correct enough to match my 45 year old Timex wind up watch I bought at Sears at NW 23rd & Penn way back in the day when Shepherd Mall was the hoppin' place to go. Timex, takes a licking and keeps on ticking! Made in America!

Dang modern technology! Whatever happened to the old Drive In Movies???

Oh hell you old! Wait, I remember that same ****!

I WANT ONE!!

Lady, you cannot bang the **** out of that one the same way of old times! Haaaaaaa!
