What are old-style telephones called?
1 Answer
What old-style telephones are called depends on the style. Ones with a handheld main component and an earpiece that you place against your ear while talking are candlestick telephones. Phones with a receiver that you both talk and listen in and have a numbered dial for dialing are rotary phones. On 1stDibs, shop a range of telephones.
