I assume you're talking about landline phones.
- qq66 12y agoNo, mobile phones. People charged them off diesel generators, hand generators, etc. There were in fact small-scale entrepreneurs who bicycled around to everyone's house, gathered up the phones, and returned them charged for a small fee. This works pretty well for Nokia 1100 style phones which had about a week or so of battery life which many people extend to a month by turning them off judiciously.
