My grandparents had a trimline on the wall, and that damn cord got kink after kink after kink in it because gram would often walk in circles as she talked. Eventually they got a model that had the cord which could be replaced. NGL, those real Bell phones were indestructible.
I only got rid of my desktop rotary landlne in 2016 after my grandmother died. Ported my home phone number so grandpa could get in touch even if I was out.
