My grandfather rented a telephone from the phone company for something like 34 years. It was one of those basic beige plastic phones with the receiver that rests on top. When he got old enough to need help managing bills and whatnot my dad noticed it. He called the phone company. They hadn’t had that program for decades but they kept charging him the entire time. He got to keep the phone. Possibly the most expensive one of these ever “sold”.
