I don't understand why would you need to use both hands to dial. Were those old dial phones different than what we imagine today when we picture a dial phone?
- mikequinlan 7y agoYou have to lift the handset off the hook and hold it in one hand and use the other hand to dial, meaning dialing required using both hands.

- balfirevic 7y agoThanks! I had a dial phone growing up and we would often just use the same hand to both hold the handset and dial the phone (just stick one finger out a little bit while holding the handset and use it to dial).
