    It is still called dialing despite no longer being rotary phones, but also, they didn’t end the ability to use rotary phones until like 2005ish. I’ve used one before they ended it and I still have one that I wish I could use! Never know, OP could be like me lol.

      Who’s “they?” I recall my telco stopping support in the '90s, and we had to upgrade all the phones in the house.

              Nice. This was the gamertag I picked to use on the DAY that Xbox Live came online. It’s followed me like a specter ever since.

                I was forced to change my gamertag soooo many times I can’t remember them all.

                    They were all labeled as “offensive”. One I remember was “CREAMPIEURWIFE”

          Why did it stop working after the house was sold?

            Cuz it was part of the estate and I kept it as a momento of my childhood. All the dialing a pain, especially international, so I did not try and use in my home.

        Good question, I suppose it varies by company, or maybe country. At any rate I used it in the 90s (and later), so I still would’ve met your telco’s cutoff date! Sounds like you used em too, so evidence that it is possible OP did continues to grow. There’s at least two of us!
