What you do next is you go to a a Starbucks in a big city, pick a table somewhere in the middle of the store, take out the rotary phone and start calling people there. You will immediately become the biggest hipster of the local community. Given how eager people are to share pictures of edgy people on the Internet, you are looking forward to world fame here.
- StavrosK 11y agoI have actually done this, and people thought I was crazy for talking on a disconnected rotary phone. It's a great conversation starter and pretty funny, though. Especially when you call their phone and it rings, people are astonished.
- freshyill 11y agoI love this project. The great thing about it, unlike many technically impressive projects, is that it's only going to get more and more fun to take this out as time goes on. If you seem crazy now, pull this phone out again in 10 years and check the reactions then. We're entering a time where not only will it seem odd that some guy is talking into a disconnected rotary phone, but soon many people won't even know what it is that you're talking into. I was in a store the other day, and my daughter, who is almost 3 years old, pointed to a store phone mounted on the wall in the toy department and asked me "what's that?"
