It was around 50 dollars a month. But, like I said, I heard it ring but all of my landline-cordless phones have been dead for about a yr. And I only averaged a few calls on it, a year, for many years before that.

Pick up one of these newfangled bag phones that Ive been hearing about

I still use my landline. I also use a cellphone.

When we had a lengthy power outage a few years ago, my wifes cell battery died before the outage was over. 3 days or so.
I still had phones... I have a hardwired landline phone I can plug in when it's needed.

I grew up in a town that had an independent phone company and that had the old crank phones within my lifetime. (Despite wikipedia saying differenty)
I'm sort of angling to be one of the last ones with a landline.

Looks like I have some competition! LOL!

These are a good alternative a can line

I keep it for decoration and as a collectible.

I figure since it is vintage it has values.

I am just waiting for a grading company to starting grading and encapsulating them
