It's been awhile since I tried it, but isn't it n+1 presses to dial n? So you can dial 0 with one click.

- __void 7y ago"0" was coded with 10 pulses
- AKrumbach 7y agoNo; if you look at an old rotary phone, you're counting the number of finger holes in order to determine pulses. To dial a 0, pulse the line 10 times.
- pomatic 7y agoUnless you are in New Zealand - the dial is numbered "backwards" there so 0 is 1 pulse etc.
- toby 7y agoOh wow, thank you for the memories :) I grew up in New Zealand when everything was pulse dialing and had an American modem that my father got us, so in order to dial any phone number I had to rewrite it by subtracting every digit from 10.
- wiml 7y agoNo, 0 is ten pulses.
- ObscureScience 7y agoAs I said, not in Sweden.
- ObscureScience 7y agoIt seems I remembered correctly. I'm from Sweden and we use the system I recalled. All of you correcting me are right with regards to most other countries.
