I would love to give one of these to a 13 year old and ask them to make a call. :)

Second row, the all white/cream model on the right – I grew up with that at my parents house – it was terribly traumatic when they had to be switched to a’modern’ push button phone a few years ago!

I’m sorry, some things were better back in the day. Well, at least they looked better anyway. As for functionality, let’s not discuss it.
