You can probably find a “rotary phone” that sends sounds instead of pulses.
Or an even older phone with an AI powered operator.

There are converters from pulse to tone! They cost something like 40 bucks though, or you can build your own for like 4.

Spank her when she does something stupid. If she wants to live old school, she’s gotta go all the way.

If you are not in a poor cell reception area, I can’t imagine why anyone would still have a land line.

Did you set it up? You can totally make a POTS emulator with VoIP, GSM and whatnot with some cheap hardware.

thank fuck, I thought it would be priced the way it used to be, X per minute and I thought “that’s gonna be an expensive whimsy”

That’s insanely cheap. We have a landline because we’re in the middle of nowhere and it’s the most reliable way to get a fire alarm call out, and it’s like $80/mo.
