I have five rotary dial phones (including a rotary wall phone) that I use in my home. All but one are Model 302s or 5302s. I inherited all but one of them. One was my grandmother's that she undoubtedly paid for at least ten times over with her monthly rental fee. The sound quality is still superior to newer phones. Occasionally some younger person will use one of them out of curiosity and will be amazed by how much more sonic detail comes through the receiver compared to their cell phone. The end quote should be updated to, "Today, it's unusual to see a landline still in use. There is a generation growing up which has never made a phone call on a landline telephone."
