Rotary-dial phones

[pne]

Prompted by seeing Amy playing with an old rotary-dial phone she got from her grandparents, and seeing that she didn't know what to do with the dial (she only picked up the receiver and talked). No wonder, since I doubt she's seen one before, and it's likely she won't be seeing (m)any in the future, either.

(Funny that the little icon for "phone" used in various places is nearly always a rotary-dial one, though!)

I am pretty sure that I dialed on a rotary phone before, but I cannot say whether it was the one my parents used to have, a public phone, or just the FisherPrice toy phone.

I cannot remember though actually making a phone call to somebody else with a rotary phone.
