I have one I saved. It's a gawdawful brown cuz hubby didn't want a Princess phone in a sissy color. Technology in home landline phones evolved and even tho we have cell phones we still have our Panasonic home phones.
Are we old or what?

oh, and I have a cell, but my wife doesn't.
Might be characteristic of a certain age range who's lives spanned a few technology leaps.
Dial up internet didn't exist for the masses until I was in my 20's.

20 foot cord, gets tangled up all the time, lol.
I walk around with a bluetooth headset for my cell. My wife talks on the landline.

(32,688 posts)phone with only 10 buttons, no Astric or pound sign, grab it. If not a black color, really grab it. First 6 months they made them, they only had 10 buttons and are rare.
