Though with phones, this is a relatively new concept. Phones used to last for decades. The phones in my parent's house were unchanged and still working after 30 years.
- cratermoon 5y agoI don't have a landline any more, but I still have a beige rotary dial desk phone that my parents got no later than 70s. It still works, if you can find a place to jack in. It's just a quirky decoration in my living room now.
